[gentoo-soc] Gentoo Prefix on Android

Hello,

I installed the Gentoo prefix on my Motorola Moto E running Android
7.1.2(homemade AospExtended ROM). I'm here to report that prefix works
perfectly fine(Check attachment) Moto E comes with 4 GB internal SD card
and I've adopted another 8 GB SD card on it.

I'm planning to build my few C based project using that prefix on my
device. I hope that'll make me more comfortable with portage and Ebuilds.
Am I going in right direction ?

Secondly I also wanted to know the exact expected outcomes of this "Portage
powered Android" project.

Thanks,
Ashutosh Sathe

Thank you!  If possible, could you please add your report to

Yes, that will help you get familiar with the environment.

Also install

It's fully up to you to write your plans in the application.

For me, I imagine we can `emerge sys-libs/bionic` to compile and upgrade
the libc of Android at the end of this summer and optionally run X11
applications on Android natively (without VNC).

Yours,
