I suggest listing the exact steps for exporting the CD_ROOT variable(s) instead of the somewhat cryptic messages shown now. After some experimentation I found that the syntax is e.g. as follows: "#! /bin/bash export CD_ROOT_1=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD1 export CD_ROOT_2=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD2 export CD_ROOT_3=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD3 export CD_ROOT_4=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD4 export CD_ROOT_5=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD5 export CD_ROOT_6=/mnt/WinRead/UT2004/CD6 time emerge --verbose ut2004" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This has nothing to do with ut2004. Personally, I really don't see the issue. It reads perfectly fine to me.
Soory, but I find that a little arrogant. You're saying that I should not use Gentoo Linux (or at least this ebuild) until I know the exact syntax of the export command? Come on!
What? Where are you reading that? I said no such thing. I think you need to step back, relax, go get some coffe, or something. You're a bit too aggressive on this and really need to think before you respond, otherwise you're going to find a games team that is much liess likely to be interested in your perceived problem.
OK if I am the only person that feels there is room for improvement in this respect, you're right. Sorry then for wasting your time.
what more do you want it to say ? currently it says: * If you do not have the CDs, but have the data files * mounted somewhere on your filesystem, just export * the following variables so they point to the right place: * CD_ROOT_1 CD_ROOT_2 CD_ROOT_3 CD_ROOT_4 CD_ROOT_5 CD_ROOT_6 * Or, if you have all the files in the same place, or * you only have one cdrom, you can export CD_ROOT * and that place will be used as the same data source * for all the CDs.
OK without knowing what preferences you have, I would suggest adding a few lines such as the following ones: Example (you may want to put these lines in a shell script): export CD_ROOT_1=<path to UT2004 directory>/CD1 export CD_ROOT_2=<path to UT2004 directory>/CD2 <.. repeat for all 6 CD_ROOT_ variables...> emerge ut2004 NOTE: replace all text above between < and > with the correct information!
added this: echo einfo "For example:" einfo "export CD_ROOT=/mnt/cdrom"
