There are people here who work with embedded and ulibc. I'm not one of |
| 10 |
them and won't try to answer directly. However, to fix the dependency... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Use /etc/portage/profiles/package.provided. See the portage manpage for |
| 13 |
details. I have a number of "unnecessary dependencies" listed there, and |
| 14 |
a few virtuals faked in a virtuals file in the same dir, as well. If you |
| 15 |
don't like Gentoo's dependencies, they /do/ give you a way to change them |
| 16 |
yourself without a whole lot of trouble. =8^) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
BTW, if you aren't yet aware of it, there's the Gentoo-embedded list. |
| 19 |
Next time I'd suggest trying there, first. =8^) |
