Due to a change that drobbins made in bootstrap.sh, there is a slight |
| 2 |
change in the process of getting a build image up and going. |

During the bootstrap phase, editing /etc/make.conf before running |
| 5 |
bootstrap.sh won't work. So what you have to do is first manually set |
| 6 |
your USE, CHOST, CFLAGS, and CXXFLAGS at the command prompt. So for a |
| 7 |
pentium pro class machine you would do this (assuming the bash shell): |
| 8 |
# export USE="slang readline gpm berkdb gdbm tcpd ..." |
| 9 |
# export CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" |
| 10 |
# export CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe" |
| 11 |
# export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" |
| 12 |
# scripts/bootstrap.sh files/bootstrap-foo.packages |
| 13 |
|

After the bootstrap process is finished, then you can edit |
| 15 |
/etc/make.conf and complete the process, per the build doc. |

One note: do not use the the "linux" ebuilds! use the "linux-sources" |
| 18 |
ebuilds and make menuconfig. We will get the configuration in a more |
| 19 |
sane state eventually, but right now, you must check it very carefully |
| 20 |
to ensure it will work with your system. In particular, ATA support |
| 21 |
needs to be built in if you want to boot off of an IDE drive. |
