I went through that exercise about a month ago, and I needed this: /etc/portage/package.use/abi_x86_32: >=dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtdbus-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtscript-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qt3support-4.8.6-r1 abi_x86_32 >=dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.6-r1:4 abi_x86_32 Apparently I have some 32-bit app that uses Qt, and wine is also in the mix. I imagine the number of possibilities and complications about this can be huge and many folks will need to make their own unique tweaks to package.use, and it'll take a while to shake out all the cruft in the tree -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
