ebuild Command Examples in Linux

by admin

In Linux, an “ebuild” is a file that contains instructions for the package manager (typically Portage) on how to build, install, and manage a software package. The “ebuild” command is used to execute these instructions and manage the package. This command is typically used by advanced users and developers to manage software packages on Gentoo Linux systems.

ebuild Command Examples

1. Create or update the package manifest:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild manifest

2. Clean the temporary build directories for the build file:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild clean

3. Fetch sources if they do not exist:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild fetch

4. Extract the sources to a temporary build directory:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild unpack

5. Compile the extracted sources:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild compile

6. Install the package to a temporary install directory:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild install

7. Install the temporary files to the live filesystem:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild qmerge

8. Fetch, unpack, compile, install and qmerge the specified ebuild file:

# ebuild /path/to/file.ebuild merge
