The bootstrap is still a little tedious, but its getting easier as we
get more work done. Once it is setup, an emerge system should work.
There aren't too many non-system related packages in the prefix
ebuild repo yet however.

Feel free to make any notes/changes you see fit. The bootstrap
instructions aren't complete yet, but if you have basic portage
knowledge of portage configuration you should be able to get it going.

You can write this list or stop by #gentoo-osx on irc.freenode.net if
you have any questions/problems/answers ;)

Sure, any help is much appreciated.

OK, I got to the point in the wiki where it says

I have set my path to

PATH=${GENTOO}/bin:${GENTOO}/sbin:${GENTOO}/usr/bin:${GENTOO}/usr/
sbin:${PORTAGE_PREFIX}/bin:${PORTAGE_PREFIX}/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

and emerge system complains about a missing profile.

$ emerge -a system

--- 'profiles/updates' is empty or not available. Empty portage tree?
emerge: wheel group use is being deprecated. Please update group and
passwd to
include the portage user as noted above, and then use group
portage.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

So next question: how do I get a profile?

I am trying to document my efforts to bootstrap on http://gentoo-
wiki.com/Talk:Portage-prefix.

I am running into the followin issue: When trying to emerge system,
it is trying to emerge vanilla gcc. I'll try to get gcc-apple compiled.

vanilla gcc uses the toolchain eclass which is broken on my system:

Vanilla gcc will probably not work.

Why do you use a 10.4/ppc profile? (I didn't even know it existed)

This is what I have (Ok, need to update):

Portage 2.1.4 (default-darwin/macos/prefix, gcc-4.0.0, libsystem-7.1-r0,
8.5.0 Power Macintosh)
=================================================================

Try setting your profile to the macos/prefix profile. That one is setup
to work with a prefix on osx.

Definitely won't, we probably can't expect FSF gcc support until at
least 4.2 is released. The current profile should not try to pull in
gcc and binutils, but gcc-apple and odcctools instead.

Thats the correct profile to use. Remember, the prefix repo doesn't
rely on the main tree anymore, so he probably doesn't have the
default-darwin/macos/prefix available.
I've just updated the profiles in the repo, so that should fix some
of these problems.

I took the portage-snapshot
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/snapshots/portage-alt-prefix-
latest.tar.bz2

This tree only has the 10.4/ppc profile, no prefix profile. What
ebuild tree are you using and how do I get it?

Still on the 10.4/ppc profile, I got

sed-4.1.4-r1
texinfo-4.8-r2
bison-2.1
m4-1.4.4

gnuconfig-20060227
odcctools-20060123
libsystem-7.1
ncurses-5.5-r2
zlib-1.2.3

emerged. gcc-apple-5247 failed.
