[SOLVED] emerge --sync issues or maybe make.conf?

mrmnemo · 06-22-2011, 10:02 AM

Hi,

I am getting errors for all my USE listed in make.conf while trying to sync up. an example: USE=bash_completion' (not '='):

I am also getting this error with most of the FEATURES i set. I went to the handbook and google and man make.conf. Is there supposed to be an order to how the features / use flags are listed? Perhaps I am supposed to do something else?

Please, post the contents of your make.conf in between CODE tags.

here ya go:

Code:

CHOST="x86_64-pcplinux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=k8-msse3 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}
FCFLAGS="${FFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
PORTAGE_NICENESS=3
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles
PKGDIR=/usr/portage/packages
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
SYSNC="rsysnc://rsynce.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
PORTAGE_RSYNCE_RETRIES="5"
FEATURES="binpkg-logs candy sandbox collision-protect distlocks fail-clean multilib-strict parallel-fetch"
USE="bash_completion multilib matroska modules networkmanager musicbrainz matrox gnome gnome-keyring hardened opengl xatr gtk xcomposite udev tcpd gtkhtml gstreamer gnutls ogg openal threads usb videos x264 xml lmsensors dvdr X"

I had to type that all in.

If the problem is that you are in console, you can emerge gpm, then do /etc/init.d/gpm start, select with the mouse as usual and paste with middle click.

Code:

CHOST="x86_64-pcplinux-gnu"

Is that a typo? For pc, it should look more like:

Code:

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

Code:

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}

If that's not a typo, this could be your problem. You are missing the closing quote character, like this:

Code:

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

If not, please, try to set a minimal make.conf that works (comment out lines that are not strictly needed), emerge gpm, load it, and paste here the exact error output.

ok,
No matter what the feature or USE flag, anything after the first option says Parse error: Invalid token 'alsa" (not'=='): /etc/make.conf: THE LINE NUMBER WOULD BE LAST

I got it fixed. I had USE twice among other typos. Thanks for your help.

Bear in mind that, if you don't close quotation marks (like in the error I explained above) bash will be confused when interpreting the script, and things will mix randomly depending on where the strings are terminated.

make.conf is nothing but a bash script, just like ebuilds. So, it must abide the bash grammar.
