[gentoo-user] LXQT (~0.9.0-r2)

[James]

Hello,

So on a recently upgraded system, I removed KDE and I'm attempting to
install LX!T-meta-0.9.0-r2. Any advise on that is most welcome. The system
had not been upgraded for several years (an old laptop) but all
seems fine now with portage, compilers, @system and @world all current.

I removed all of the kde*meta packages and have been slowly cleaning
out the residual kde kruft via this resource's suggestions [1]. 


So far ncurses* and libcaca seem to be the only packages motivating
extreme creativity on installation. Right now I have ncurses-6.0 
installed and I'm working on finding a compatible version of libcaca.
(I did not want to post to the current ncurses post but surely
ncurses  issues are part of this compatibility issue.

Any tidbits, suggestions or package flag/tricks are most welcome
on the latest version of LXQT-meta.


Ok and libcaca just failed (again)::
 "
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lGLU 

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
distcc[1382] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed
Makefile:689: recipe for target 'libcaca.la' failed
make[2]: *** [libcaca.la] Error 1   "


I'm using distcc. I have turned distcc off (/etc/init.d/distcc stop)
on both the host and the other (8 core) system;  and also used 
" MAKEOPTS="-j1" USE="qt5 ".  Distcc has not had any other issues
on this setup (same arch, compiler and key packages) for hundreds 
of other compiles. So I'm  a bit stumped.


What would be keen is the for somebody running the latest version 
of lxqt-meta to list the files and flags they use. Hunches also
warmly received.  Lafilefixer? (I thought all those tricks were
integrated into portage PM now?
