ebuild
There's a new bugfix update, 0.72.1, out. I'll download the ebuild here, bump the version, and test. This test will be on a (mostly) x86 Pentium M laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook P7120D). OK, it builds and runs. However, boy, I didn't realize how "janky" and odd this app is, in terms of user interface. And it doesn't help that I often don't run with a scrollwheel'd mouse... ;) I changed the libtiff dep to the current stable x86 version: tiff? ( >=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r4 ) Oh, and I've got a font problem, too, but that's a local issue, I guess? The progam spits out: Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Error: Aborting: no font found and the eaglemode window's fonts are just huge. But, I guess it "works"... but probably not quite ready for primetime, or to substitute for ROX/Nautilus/etc. Yes, it's probably more of an interesting toy than a useful tool, at least currently. It doesn't complain about fonts for me (with 0.72.0, at least). Not sure what that's about. Created attachment 365978 [details] eaglemode-0.84.0.ebuild I made this ebuild for the new version 0.84.0. It is mainly based on the ebuild supplied with the program http://downloads.sourceforge.net/eaglemode/eaglemode-0.84.0.ebuild and an ebuild in the bgo-overlay (for module selection) I only added USE flags for libs that appear to be build-time dependencies, because otherwise there would be more than a dozen USE flags for optional runtime dependencies as per http://eaglemode.sourceforge.net/SystemRequirements.html so I rather added a message pointing to that file. Sadly, it requires xine-lib-1.1* for video support which is not in portage anymore. Also, their strange build system does not honor CFLAGS. I did my best to determine versions of dependencies, unfortunately, the developer just uses what he has in Debian. BTW, I think this package should be in a different category than x11-wm, because it's not a Window manager, more like a DE or file manager. so perhaps it should be in app-misc (that's where most independent file managers and interfaces are) I renamed the ebuild to eaglemode-0.85.0.ebuild and had to change the jpeg dependency from media-libs/jpeg:62 to virtual/jpeg:62 and it runs fine with my installed media-libs/libjpeg-turbo:62. No font warnings here, and the fonts look ok. Created attachment 381066 [details]
Version bump to current 0.85.0; using virtual/jpeg
New ebuild.
Check out the 'eaglemode Linux Kernel Configurator'.
It is explained in bottom left of the 'virtual cosmos'.
Its a kernel patch installed to /usr/lib/eaglemode/res/emLKC/emLKC.patch.bz2
which gives you a zoomable kernel configuration tool with 'make emconfig' from the kernel root dir.
I'd say its useful but still have to give it a try.
I agree on this beeing no x11-wm, rather an app-misc.
