Re: [gentoo-bsd] Two issues.

[Robert Raitz]

As an update, I did get X to work. Yes, that was the bug. I am at xorg-server-1.11.4-ish, and I do have X. The problem is, I want xfce4, which means pango, which will not finish compilation. 

Let me be a bit more specific. If I compile pango without the 'X' or 'introspection' USE flags, it will compile. As soon as either one is turned on, the compilation fails. That means no mousepad or leafpad, no thunar, not even my xscreensaver hacks. I have fvwm with xterm, lots of fonts, but nothing beyond having multiple terminal screens. Because it's currently a bit dumb, and on a hard drive that isn't this one, getting exact output is rough. I am most likely going to be putting it back into a chroot session.

I've seen that there are some freebsd bugs in bugzilla. Can I report that pango issue there, or should I post it somewhere else? Basically, what can be done to get me to a point where I can get my beastly penguin as usable as it's straight-up non-hybrid counterparts residing on this drive? Now that X is running, I find it a beastly tease to not allow xfce4, or anything other than fvwm or twm. Anyone who has gotten beyond that issue, please let me know what to do. I'm really hooked on getting it going fully. Apparently, KMS is coming soon for FreeBSD, and that's good for hybrid users, too. Probably even better for us.

Cheers,
Pappy

Does this bug will not be helpful to you ?

Are you using crossdev ?
cross-*-freebsd-lib should automatically be unmasked by crossdev.

I have confirmed that cross compiler is completed on Gentoo/Linux amd64
in the next step.

1. emerge sys-devel/crossdev
2. cd /usr/portage/sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib
3. wget -O freebsd-lib-9.1_rc3-r1.ebuild \
"http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentoo-bsd.git;a=blob_plain;f=sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib/freebsd-lib-9.1_rc3-r1.ebuild;h=d4f4b85f9a07aa502b36678a756ca759def52d2a;hb=d92895be6230221821bc177e251139b5cad05155"
4. ebuild freebsd-lib-9.1_rc3-r1.ebuild digest
5. mkdir /etc/portage/package.keywords
6. echo 'sys-freebsd/freebsd-mk-defs ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/local
7. echo 'sys-apps/mtree ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/local
8. crossdev --g '>4.7' i686-gentoo-freebsd9.1
