You can use ebuild for that. The commands to build without merging |
| 17 |
would be |
| 18 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild install |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This will download, unpack, build, and install the package into your |
| 21 |
temporary portage build directory (usually /var/tmp/portage). It will |
| 22 |
not resolve any dependencies though, this has to be done beforehand. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The temporary install directory is called "image" in the temporary |
| 25 |
directory. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
You can also go through the whole process step by step, |
| 28 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild unpack |
| 29 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild compile |
| 30 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild install |
| 31 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild qmerge |
| 32 |
ebuild /usr/portage/my-package/my-ebuild-file.ebuild clean |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
the qmerge command will install it into your system, so this is the |
| 35 |
step, that you do not want to execute ;) |
| 36 |
|

Cheers |
