USE flags

  • abi_mips_n32 - 64-bit (32-bit pointer) libraries
  • abi_mips_n64 - 64-bit libraries
  • abi_mips_o32 - 32-bit libraries
  • abi_s390_32 - 32-bit (s390) libraries
  • abi_s390_64 - 64-bit (s390x) libraries
  • abi_x86_32 - 32-bit (x86) libraries
  • abi_x86_64 - 64-bit (amd64) libraries
  • abi_x86_x32 - x32 ABI libraries
  • dbus - Enable dependencies required by glib libraries using dbus service to manage settings saving
  • debug - Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
  • elf - Enable support for listing and extracting from ELF resource files with gresource tool
  • gtk-doc - Build and install gtk-doc based developer documentation for dev-util/devhelp, IDE and offline use
  • mime - Pull in shared MIME database that many glib-based applications require at runtime to detect or open files. Warning: do not disable this flag unless installing on a headless server.
  • selinux - !!internal use only!! Security Enhanced Linux support, this must be set by the selinux profile or breakage will occur
  • static-libs - Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well
  • sysprof - Enable profiling data capture support using dev-util/sysprof-capture
  • systemtap - Build support for profiling and tracing using dev-util/systemtap
  • test - Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
  • utils - Install gtester-report utility to generate test report files for your software; build gresource utility with ELF support.
  • xattr - Add support for extended attributes (filesystem-stored metadata)
