celestia-cvs ebuild for Gentoo Linux users

Post #1by Polynomial-C » 17.07.2004, 08:42

Hi,

I am very interested in what is going on with celestia-development so I decided to have a look at the latest cvs-snapshots that can be found at http://celestia.teyssier.org/download/daily/ .
As a gentoo-user I (of course) prefer ebuilds for this so I made some and they work great for me.
You can find the packed ebuilds here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56720
Just cd to /usr/local/portage (or anywhere else you created your own $PORTDIR_OVERLAY) and tar -xvjf /path/to/celestia_cvs-ebuild.tar.bz2 and then run emerge -au celestia

Have a lot of fun :)

Oh I've forgot something.
The ebuilds have KEYWORDS="-* ~x86" so if you wanna emerge this ebuild
create /etc/portage and do this when you have x86 arch

Code: Select all

echo "app-sci/celestia ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

or when you have any other arch celestia could run on

Code: Select all

echo "app-sci/celestia -*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

before you do

Code: Select all

emerge -au celestia
