  • [gentoo-user] emerge with another PATH

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 20 16:00:01 2022
    How do I run emerge so that when buildin/emerging the package another
    PATH is used ?

    PATH is just an environment variable, so

    PATH="/path1:/path2" emerge blah

    should do that.

    Unless what you are really asking is how do you get emerge to install
    files to a different location. In that case look at the --root option in
    man emerge.

    Is there another word for synonym?

    PATH is just an environment variable, so

    should do that.

    Doesn't seems to work...

    # echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux
    # emerge -aqvu app-text/dblatex
    ...
    # grep ^Err /Net/gentoo/tmpdir/portage/app-text/dblatex-0.3.11-r1/temp/build.log
    Error: not found: latex, makeindex, pdflatex, kpsewhich
    # which latex
    /usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/latex
    #

    Something seems to set its own PATH.

    It probably reinitialises PATH when dropping to the portage user? Try modifying PATH in /etc/portage/bashrc — note that this file is sourced multiple times during the build, see <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/bashrc>.

    Thanks, that solved it.

    From man emerge:

    ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS

    ROOT = [path]
    Use ROOT to specify the target root filesystem to be used for merging
    the requested packages or ebuilds and their runtime dependencies. This
    variable can be set via the --root option or in make.conf(5) (the
    command line overrides other settings).
    Defaults to /.

    --root=DIR
    Set the ROOT environment variable.

    That variable is either set in make.conf or on the emerge command line
    as a option.  Of course, this depends on what it is you are trying to accomplish.  More info on that may help others to know what settings
    need to be adjusted. 

    Hope that helps.
