Install scripts for Gentoo

Note:

• The scripts here are not meant to be executed directly.
• This folder should reflect the equivalents of /sdata/dist-arch/ but under Gentoo.
  • When /sdata/dist-arch/ is newer than this folder, an update on this folder is very likely needed.

install-deps.sh

1. Enables localrepo and guru overlays if not already enabled.
2. Copies keywords to keywords-user and appends the correct unmask keywords for the user's architecture (adm64, arm64, and x86 are supported).
3. keywords-user and useflags are copies over into the proper portage directories. Quickshell also uses a live ebuild.
4. Syncs, updates, and depcleans @world.
5. Copies over the custom live ebuilds (hyprgraphics, hyprland-qt-support, hyprland-qtutils, hyprlang, hyprwayland-scanner) into localrepo and digests them.
6. Loops through all illogical-impulse ebuilds to digest and emerge them.

Recommended use flags (useflags)

• The recommended useflags are not required, this is a more out of the box experience with these
• Pipewire is used, alsa and pulseaudio are disabled (enabling them won't hurt).
• Init system is not assumed or considered so disabling systemd should be done in make.conf, same with session managers (elogind is recommended).

Making the dot-files work

• elogind is expected to be installed and run as a service on OpenRC to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
  • NOT recommended: seatd will require more manual setup
• pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber must be started after a dbus-session is created and before Hyprland is launched.

If you want to start after logging into tty1 you can do something like this.

if status --is-interactive; and [ (tty) = "/dev/tty1" ]
    # Start DBus session if not running
    if not set -q DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
        dbus-launch --sh-syntax | sed 's/^/set -gx /; s/=/ /' | source
    end

    # Start PipeWire if not running
    pgrep -x pipewire >/dev/null; or pipewire &
    pgrep -x pipewire-pulse >/dev/null; or pipewire-pulse &
    pgrep -x wireplumber >/dev/null; or wireplumber &

    # Launch Hyprland with DBus session
    exec Hyprland
end

Known Issues

• If Hyprland is just blank, rebuild Quickshell (emerge -q gui-apps/quickshell)
• Hyprland: error while loading shared libraries: libhyprgraphics.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  • The Hyprland live ebuild sometimes has linkage issues, deleting Hyprland and hyprland from /usr/bin/ and then re-emerging usually fixes this.
• When emerging Hyprland if you get an issue relating to undefined reference to ``Hyprutils::Math::Vector2D::˜Vector2D()``
  • Clear the cache folder (rm -fr /var/tmp/portage/gui-wm/hyprland*) then try again
