A finite subset of this package.use file will let skype install, |
| 2 |
followed of course by |
| 3 |
emerge skype. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I arrived at this list the long hard way, repeatedly running emerge and |
| 6 |
adding stuffs still portage stopped it's whinging. The worst part is Qt |
| 7 |
and X11 as skype is a Qt app and no longer bundles a local copy of Qt. |

I agree with Ralf, a small VM with Windows or an Ubuntu/Mint/whatever |
| 10 |
appliance solely for use with skype is probably a better use of your |
| 11 |
time. It's a huge PITA to keep abi_x86_32 under control and not bloat, |
| 12 |
whereas a VM only needs disk space (cheap as dirt) and apt-get once a |
| 13 |
fortnight or so. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Anyway, here's a package.use that works on a Plasma 5 system: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# These enable 32-bit libs, mostly for wine and skype |
| 18 |
# This list is long because both need all of X11 as 32bit and it's a big |
| 19 |
tree |
