Follow this procedure in order to install the ROHC library on a Gentoo Linux system. For other systems, see the generic installation procedure.
the gentoo ebuild is not up-to-date
a shelr screencast would be great
upload the ebuild on sunrise
The ROHC Ebuild is not in the Gentoo official tree yet. You have to get it from the Gentoo bugtracker.
Download the 3 following files:
If you do not have a local tree on your Gentoo system yet, alter you portage configuration as follow to tell portage that a local tree is now present in /usr/local/portage/:
# echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage" >> /etc/make.conf
Create the local tree and put the 3 ROHC Ebuild files in it:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-libs/rohc # cp -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/rohc-X.Y.X.ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-libs/rohc/ # cp -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/metadata.xml /usr/local/portage/net-libs/rohc/ # cp -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/ChangeLog /usr/local/portage/net-libs/rohc/
Create the manifest of the ROHC Ebuild:
# ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-libs/rohc/rohc-X.Y.X.ebuild manifest
The above command will download the source archive of the ROHC library and generate the related MD5/SHA checksums. The ROHC Ebuild is now available in your Gentoo system.
If you are running a stable Gentoo system, you have to keyword the ROHC Ebuild to be able to install it. If you are running a ~arch system, go directly to next step.
To keyword the ROHC Ebuild, type as root:
# echo "net-libs/rohc" > /etc/portage/package.keywords/rohc
If you get an error stating that /etc/portage/package.keywords/rohc is not a directory, it means that your system uses a single file for all keywords instead of a directory. Type the following command as root:
# echo "net-libs/rohc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
As root, tell portage to install the ROHC Ebuild:
# emerge -av net-libs/rohc
The following USE flags are available:
The Ebuild supports testing if the “test” feature is enabled in your make.conf or if FEATURES=test is set in the commande line. Testing the ROHC library requires net-libs/libpcap to be installed.
Once the ROHC library is installed, you may:
