SDL dependencies
After a long break, I updated my Gentoo installation (I was more working on Windows, recently – mainly for studying reasons…) After that, when issueing the usual “revdep-rebuild”, I encountered some errors that turned out to be some dependencies on SDL; the corresponding configure routines warned about something like: checking for sdl-config… /usr/bin/sdl-config checking for [...]
Dependency graph
Today, I wanted to do a regular update of WORLD on my server – and I ran into this message from portage: Calculating world dependencies \ !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been !!! pulled into the dependency graph: (‘ebuild’, ‘/’, ‘app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.7-r1′, ‘merge’) pulled in by (‘installed’, ‘/’, ‘mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.10a-r2′, ‘nomerge’) (‘ebuild’, ‘/’, [...]

For distcc, simply emerge it; then, in /etc/conf.d/distccd, near the bottom of the file, make sure that the –allow option matches the network (in my case, it’s –allow=10.10.10.0/24). Start it and add it to the default runlevel – voila! For CCache, [...]
Portage updates and configuring system tools

For make.conf, main thing is to add ELOG settings. It’s basically two lines. So, here is now the full /etc/make.conf, including the already promised USE flags: CHOST=”i686-pc-linux-gnu” [...]
