What you call "bootstrap", to me is no longer bootstrapping at all. |
| 15 |
After your emerge -e system && ./startprefix.sh your system contains all |
| 16 |
the basic blocks that it needs. In other words, no X library at all is |
| 17 |
in system (and hence the bootstrap). If it fails to compile/install in |
| 18 |
a working prefix instance, then that's a normal bug. However, in this |
| 19 |
case I'm sure we've patched pkgconfig to look in prefix paths, so your |
| 20 |
export should be void. Maybe somehow pkgconfig hasn't been installed in |
| 21 |
your prefix? Or the host provided pkgconfig is somehow used? |
