Entropy, binary packages, customization [Solved]

[ekryyn]

Hello,
first, i'm really sorry to ask such a stupid question. And also sorry for my English skills.

I come from Gentoo, and I must admit that I'm quite lost.
In my previous attempts to switch on Sabayon, i've tried to mix the use of entropy and portage. This had result in epic fails, each time. So this time, I took a decision : making my system to work only with the use of entropy. But it seems that i'm an idiot, there are some stuff that i don't understand
For example, I'm trying to install boost libraries with entropy. So I just ran "equo install dev-libs/boost". Even if the version is not he one I used to install with portage, this fits my needs.
My problem is that I would like to have the shared libs and the static too. With portage, I used to simply add a Use flag for that package, "static-libs". For what i've read on the Entropy guid on the wiki, the use flags aren't use anymore by entropy (correct me if i'm wrong).
So, i've googled a way to install the static boost libraries with equo, but the only results I can get are by using portage.

Is there a way to get a static version of the boost libs ? Should I emerge it with portage then inject the package into my entropy installation ?

Is an exclusive use of entropy is viable ? Since i'm kind of a noob, the answer to that doesn't seem trivial to me...

Again, sorry

What you should do is file a bug report to Sabayon to either
1) Have boost recompiled with the use flags you require
or
2) Have another boost package added to entropy that installs the boost static-libs

Beyond that, (or if you can't wait for that to be completed in the meantime) the correct thing would be to emerge boost with the flags you require and inform equo of the installed package.

Oh, by the way, you can look at what USE flags were used when the package was compiled. I know you can do it via command line, but I forget the command at the moment.

The website has the info as well: http://packages.sabayon.org/show/boost, ... 5,standard

equo search --verbose <packagename>

For example:

Code: Select all

$ equo search --verbose chromium

Thanks for the quick answer
This let me know the right way to think : my problem isn't urgent, all that I wanted was to have an idea of the way it should work. So, i'll mark this thread as solved,
Thank you very much !
