Gentoo manual install

From Miro User Documentation

Jump to: navigation, search

The current ebuild in the Sunrise repository is still democracy-0.9.5.1. If you want to use a newer version you can get an updated ebuild from the related bug report. Once you have downloaded the ebuild (and necessary patches) you need to put it in a local repository. For the following to work Portage needs to know about your local repository, so open /etc/make.conf and add the overlay: 

 su
 nano /etc/make.conf

/etc/make.conf 

 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

Create the directory, move the ebuild and create the digest, downloaded files are assumed to be in /home/USER/. 

 mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-tv/miro
 cd /usr/local/portage/media-tv/miro
 mv /home/USER/miro-0.9.9.1.ebuild  .
 mkdir files
 mv /home/USER/getlogin.patch files/
 ebuild miro-0.9.9.1.ebuild digest

If you did not receive any error messages you should be able to install Miro with the following commands. Should you be using the stable arch you will also need to set the proper keyword. Use of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS during emerge has been deprecated for some time. Finally, if you are on PPC or AMD64, please set ~ppc or ~amd64 instead of ~x86. 

 echo "media-tv/miro ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
 emerge -av miro

Neither Sunrise nor ebuilds found on the Gentoo Bugzilla are officially supported.
