Thanks now I understand the default USE flags I see, I think. And apologies for not searching the manual first.
But I still do not understand why flags like mmx (or 3dnow) flags that i put in the /etc/make.conf file is not getting picked up. Am i right in my understanding that emerge --info reports the "sum" of all the USE flags from all the make.defaults and /etc/make.conf ? so it should show mmx when i put it there. regards Kumar On 3/8/06, Martins Steinbergs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 08 March 2006 18:33, Kumar Golap wrote: > > In fact if i remove the USE line from the make.conf file ...and i do > > emerge --info ...it is showing USE flags that i have no clue from > > where its coming.
