I'm working on getting my iSight working on an x86 system (pentium4), based on information at: http://www.ywesee.com/index.cgi?Isight There is currently an ebuild for Coriander (media-plugins/coriander), which contains only ppc in KEYWORDS. I copied the ebuild to my overlay and added ~x86 to the KEYWORDS. It compiled fine, but died when trying to install pixmaps with a sandbox violation: [...] make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. if test -d ./pixmaps; then \ /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander; \ for pixmap in ./pixmaps/*; do \ if test -f $pixmap; then \ /bin/install -c -m 644 $pixmap /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander; \ fi \ done \ fi mkdir /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander ACCESS DENIED mkdir: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/pixmaps/coriander': Permission denied ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander /bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/pixmaps/coriander': Permission denied ACCESS DENIED open_wr: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander /bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/pixmaps/coriander': Permission denied make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/coriander-1.0.0_pre3/work/coriander-1.0.0-pre3' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/coriander-1.0.0_pre3/work/coriander-1.0.0-pre3' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 !!! ERROR: media-plugins/coriander-1.0.0_pre3 failed. !!! Function einstall, Line 385, Exitcode 2 !!! einstall failed --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-media-plugins_-_coriander-1.0.0_pre3-10080.log" mkdir: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander open_wr: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander open_wr: /usr/share/pixmaps/coriander -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the Makefile, this seems to be a problem of DESTDIR not being set correctly. According to the ebuild howto, "make DESTDIR=${D} install" is preferred over "einstall". Changing the appropriate line in src_install() fixed the sandbox violation and correctly installed Coriander for me. Once installed, Coriander correctly detected my iSight and was able to display the video. Would it be possible to update the KEYWORDS and make the src_install() fix?

pieter, might be better to switch from einstall to make DESTDIR=${D} install instead
Created attachment 39878 [details, diff] diff to current ebuild A diff to currentr ebuild that allow to build coriander on x86 platform.
fixed and version bumped. Thnxs
