PartGUI is a Qt-3.x graphical user interface for parted. It aims to be a free PartitionMagic clone for Linux. It work for both Qt-x11 and Qt-embedded. The Qt-embedded support allows to have a graphical partition tool, with FrameBuffer instead of XFree86. There is no ebuild for it in gentoo for now. http://part-gui.sourceforge.net/ ---- If we have an ebuild for gentoo, which allow to build the Qt-embedded version, it will be nice. This tool allow to have a nice graphical partition tool on the live CD, with Qt-embedded, and not XFree86. And it will help users to partition their hard disk before to install gentoo... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
also watch out bug #18714 could you please attach an ebuild ?
Created an attachment (id=13365) [details] Working unitial ebuild for partgui This initial ebuild is able to install PartGui on my computer. I hope it works eveywhere.

Could you please strip all unnecessary comments from your ebuild? The way it looks like now is not exactly inviting to check it...
Created an attachment (id=14475) [details] Clean ebuild for PartGui-0.2.2 This is a new ebuild for parted. It has been cleaned, and updated (version 0.2.2)
Do you know for sure your program only works on x86? Why? Your ebuild does not use qt-embedded, but normal qt. I can't compile it successfully: In file included from /var/tmp/portage/partgui-0.2.2/work/partgui-0.2.2/src/shared/exceptions.h:22, from /var/tmp/portage/partgui-0.2.2/work/partgui-0.2.2/src/shared/image_disk.h:24, from /var/tmp/portage/partgui-0.2.2/work/partgui-0.2.2/src/piwork/imagefile.h:22, from fs_base.cpp:22: /var/tmp/portage/partgui-0.2.2/work/partgui-0.2.2/src/piwork/gui_text.h:24:18: newt.h: No such file or directory
Added newt to the dependencies. Added chmod +x for the partgui script. It is installed as non-executable by default which doesn't make much sense. The program doesn't look bad, I'll put it into portage and let other ruin their partition table with it :-)
