media-video/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-1.0.ebuild
Hmm, shouldn't this be rather installed via nvidia-glx ebuild? That would be convenient! But, the source is not included in the pkg.run file. It's separate just like nvidia-settings is. Strange, but that's the way they made it :( We'll see how the maintainers want to handle this...if at all. Created attachment 74227 [details]
media-video/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-1.0.ebuild
for some reason, I forgot to set ${S} and ebuild did not compile. Don't know
how I missed that :) I don't like the fact that there is no Documentation other
than the manpage. Perhaps a README should be created to say that "no
documentation is provided, please see manpage?" LOL
For me this bug shows itself as the nvidia make (the ebuild is fine) failing to identify my kernel with the message :- 1.0-8178-pkg1/usr/src/nv ... * Preparing nvidia module If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. *** A cd to /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178/work/NVIDIA-Linu x-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1/usr/src/nv and running make install builds and installs it. Then of course nvidia-glx won't build, so you have to add media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178 to /etc/make.profile/package.provided which is really a dirty hack but I don't know enough about ebuilds to fix the ebuild - yet. 4 months no action. I'm not a dev, so can't fix. dead |
