Hi All,
I've put together an ebuild for XSI so those of you using gentoo
(guess that's me and Rick) can have a more simplified install.
To use it put it in your portage overlay directory - if you don't have
one - check here for how to set it up.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
Assuming the default overlay directory it's just a
mkdir /usr/local/portage/media-gfx
tar -xvzf xsi-ebuild.tar.gz -C /usr/local/portage/media-gfx
Copy your xsi .tar.gz installer to /usr/portage/distfiles assuming
defaults - if not an error will be generate when you try emerge
telling you where it should be. For foundation users the file is
XSI-4 (See http://XSI-4.ora-code.com).2-Foundation-linux.tar.gz and for others it's
XSI-4 (See http://XSI-4.ora-code.com).2-linux.tar.gz
To install foundation users type
USE="foundation" emerge xsi
Others type
XSI_SPM_SERVER="servernameorip" emerge xsi
You can leave the XSI_SPM_SERVER off if you want to manually set it in
the .xsi_4.2 config file yourself (or don't need it because you're
running foundation)
If you're running stable x86 you'll need to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS or add
media-gfx/xsi ~x86
to your /etc/portage/packages.keywords (create it if it doesn't exist)
It might run on amd64 - I've taken a guess at the required packages
for amd64, so if someone running amd64 could tell me which emul libs
are required that would be great.
I'll submit it to portage so it'll hopefully be included in the
standard portage tree in the future.
Cheers,
Alan.
