Description Sebastiaan 2007-09-06 07:47:42 UTC
A while ago I created this ebuild to install EGSnrc and BEAMnrc on Gentoo-amd64. This ebuild is far from finished! But it gives a setup for those who want to try it.

A lot of work need to be done for a proper Gentoo installation. One of the problems with *nrc is that it configures and builds the binaries in the definite place on the filesystem. Problems with paths occur when files are moved from the sandbox to the main file system. However, these paths cannot be corrected in advance, because the compiled binaries are used to compile other parts. This even results in patching binary files afterwards (I know this is very bad and will not work on every system/configuration. A recompile of these binaries afterwards is a better solution).

I also have not succeeded in compiling all the example C(++) programs. Some compile with icc, some with gcc-3, some with gcc-4.

The afterwork (integration on a Gentoo system) can be read in the src_install() section of the ebuild.

When the ebuild is installed correctly, a file /etc/env.d/71beamnrc is created for the environmental variables.

To allow a user to use BEAMnrc, copy /opt/BEAMnrc/egsnrc_for_user to ~/egsnrc and add the following to the users' .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/egsnrc/bin/amd64-ifort/
export EGS_HOME=$HOME/egsnrc/

with amd64-ifort being the used architecture and compiler.


Reproducible: Always

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

No comments have been made on this bug report for some time.
Is anyone still interested in integration of this package? 

If yes, please indicate that here in this bug report.

Otherwise we'll resolve the bug in the near future, since sci(-*) has
an extremely large number of pending package requests and we would like
to focus...

As the supplier of this ebuild for this rare package I must say that I have not used this package for years, nor does it seem to have had any interest. 

Please focus on more popular packages.
