now i am confuse? atm you have enabled the use flag. if you want to build it without qt support, you disable the use flag'

>>883306

>>883302

i'm not the OP. i have qt enabled, intentionally

>>883292 (OP)

But think of all the benefit you're getting from building those 163 X11 dependencies.

He didn't ask to emerge wpa_gui, only the wpa_supplicant...

Fuck off OP. You are a retard, admit it.

Maybe next time OP will post in >>>/g/

The one thing you autists don't apply the KISS principle to is the one thing that could have saved the world from botnet.

PEBCAK

>>883362

>power user

Because of all the power you use compiling everything.

>>883364

Fuck off Carlos

Just wait until you get circular dependency hell.

There are not any hard dependencies on x libraries. You probably didn't check the use flags that were enabled.

y tho

>>883354

I'll take the b8 since you are retarded.

$ cat /usr/portage/gentoo/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-2.6-r4.ebuild | grep IUSE
IUSE="ap dbus eap-sim eapol_test fasteap gnutls +hs2-0 libressl p2p privsep ps3 qt5 readline selinux smartcard ssl tdls uncommon-eap-types wimax wps kernel_linux kernel_FreeBSD"

See how there is no '+' next to the qt5 flag. That means it isn't enabled by default.

Wtf, I hate Gentoo now

>>883654

>bumping this shit thread

why does gentoo need qt anyways? i hope it's not cloveros

>>883712

>use ifconfig and never touch X again

You meant Wayland?

>>883354

Look through the profile before setting it you absolute nigger.

>>883354

Your IQcache flag is set too low to install Gentoo without running into problems, but set too high when it comes to making a thread in /tech/

So quit bitching and increase or decrease it as required. We don't care which.

>>883712

GO AWAY QUEER

>>883354

just fucking USE="-qt5" emerge wpa_supplicant retard

A bit off topic, but why are Gentoo people so toxic? If you ask something not entirely obvious the answer is always:

>its X. how are so fucking retarded? it is common knowledg

Do you have to be angry 24/7 to be Gentoo user?

>>883807

OP didn't ask, OP started blaming gentoo for his own incompetence. I can understand that he didn't look at use flags before emerging, but when you don't even bother to emerge --ask and then blame gentoo for not being able to read your mind, don't expect pople to be kind.

>>883807

USE flags and being able to customize your install however you want is the main selling point of Gentoo. And OP didn't even bother to read that much about it. In fact, the Gentoo handbook even has a spot dedicated to USE flags, explains what they do, and tells you to spend some time customizing them after you select your profile. And your profile is just a preset of USE flags, for the most part.

I really doubt OP actually installed Gentoo, because the handbook explains all of this, and like I said, USE flags are one of the main parts of Gentoo.

Actually, the more I think about it, I don't think OP even installed gentoo. The default profile for Gentoo doesn't even pull in X or a DE. OP is either lying or a complete fucktard, here's what I think could have happened

>didn't even bother installing Gentoo and just is making shit up

>changed the profile from the default (that doesn't have X or a DE) and portage pulled in X11 because of the profile

>OP was a retard and tried to emerge from the live environment he was in

The whole thread smells like fake bullshit.

>>883813

>>883838

I was no talking about specifically about OP, that why I wrote "A bit off topic". There are a few Gentoo related thread on this board and every time a genuine question comes up Gentoo graybeard gets annoyed. It seems silly to be so uptight and such elitist.

>>883840

your expected to rtfm first

gentoo has issues with packages, off the top of my head virtualbox-guest-utilities is fucked, firefox is completely missing the data choices tab (you have to disable telemetry in about:config), etc, but this is not one of them.

>>883807

>boo hoo toxic

This is 8ch you nigger monkey retard, if you want something less toxic so you don't accidentally get your feelings hurt then go back to >>>/g/ weak faggot

>>883840

>Gentoo graybeard

lmao I hope you are joking anon.

>>883982

Does it support PEAP? Thats pretty much the only reason to use wpa_supplicant. Otherwise its a simple 'ifconfig if nwid Network wpakey secrets up' then a 'dhclient if' or whatever.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Windows just werks.

>>884628

it really doesn't

>>883292 (OP)

>He fell for the meme.

Speaking of, I'm about to install gentoo, I've built all of the packages I'll need in a VM and I'll set up a binhost with them so I'm not locked out of my computer for 12 hours in the process of compiling my shit, will the fact I compiled everything in a VM fuck anything up when I use it on bare metal?, I can't think of a reason why it would but I just found it strange that none does this.

>>883743

>too high when it comes to making a thread in /tech/

Do you want /tech/ to be full of retarded threads?

>>884952

almost every distro does this

>>884977

I meant noone*

>>884952

>>884978

>>884952

Because I'm not locked out when even when I'm installing. Why wouldn't you do the whole install over ssh from another machine? Or from a chroot on you current OS when you only have one computer.
