I successfully bootstrapped gentoo-prefix on my sparc64/freebsd8.1 machine. I request the requisite profile is added to the tree at portage/profiles/prefix/bsd/freebsd/8.1/sparc64 Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FreeBSD 8.1 on sparc64 Sun Fire V100 2. Make requiste profile based on freebsd/8.0/x86 2a. modify ARCH, CHOST and ACCEPT_KEYWORD variables 2b. set freebsd/8.1/package.provided to include sys-freebsd/libc-8.1 2c. mask >sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1-r1 and >sys-devel/gcc-4.2.4-r1 2d. link the created profile tree to your an installed portage tree using the parent file from /freebsd/8.1/ 3. Follow prefix bootstrap guide for FreeBSD at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-freebsd.xml 3a. Add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc-solaris" to $EPRFIX/etc/make.conf 3b. after step 'emerge --sync', remove all but ARCH, CHOST and ACCEPT_KEYWORDS from the custom make.defaults and redirect the parent file to the new $EPREFIX/usr/portage tree Actual Results: Gentoo-Prefix bootstraps successfully Expected Results: Gentoo-Prefix bootstraps successfully Since portage doesn't include support for KEYWORD ~sparc64-freebsd, and the prefix tree doesn't include ~sparc-fbsd I was forced to use ~sparc64-solaris. I imagine it would work with most other prefix keywords, but I didn't try anything else. My logic was simple: arch was most important, followed by testing outside of linux. Also, root's default shell is /bin/csh, so the startprefix script wouldn't work until I changed SHELL to /bin/tcsh.
Hi! I added a csh -> tcsh hack in the bootstrap startscript target, like we do for sh -> bash what CHOST do you have in use? I assumed sparc64-unknown-freebsd8.1 for now I added the profile to the tree.
Yes. ARCH="sparc-fbsd" CHOST="sparc64-unknown-freebsd8.1" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc-fbsd ~sparc-fbsd sparc64-freebsd ~sparc64-freebsd" In the official prefix tree, I don't think (~)sparc-fbsd is desirable, or even meaningful since it's not included as a keyword in any of the ebuilds. However, cross referencing it to the main tree serves as a good reference point.
I checked in this: http://rsync1.prefix.freens.org/profiles/prefix/bsd/freebsd/8.1/sparc64/make.defaults
everything here looks done to me, closing
