As of September 16th of 2014, there are no AMC @ebuild@ available through any overlay, unfortunately.

Using this guide, you find all the information and resources to compile / install AMC 1.2.1. You will need to set up a local overlay (i.e. on your computer) to use the @ebuild@ provided in this page.

h2. Compile / Install using a local overlay

* Create a local overlay

For reference, here the same procdure, with more details : http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay

10

Run the following commands as @root@ (don't forget to give your overlay a nice name ) :

11

1

<pre>

12

1

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/{metadata,profiles}

13

1

# echo 'NameOfTheOverlay' > /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name

14

1

# echo 'masters = gentoo' > /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf

15

1

# chown -R portage:portage /usr/local/portage

16

1

</pre>

17

1

Get @portage@ ready to make use of this new overlay :

18

1

<pre>

19

1

# echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf

20

1

</pre>

21

22

1

* Install the provided files (ebuild and patch)

23

1

Create directories as necessary :

24

1

<pre>

25

1

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-office/auto-multiple-choice/files/

26

1

</pre>

27

1

Download the files on this page, and store them in the following directories  :

28

1

<pre>

29

1

/usr/local/portage/app-office/auto-multiple-choice/auto-multiple-choice-1.2.1.ebuild

30

1

/usr/local/portage/app-office/auto-multiple-choice/files/auto-multiple-choice-1.2-makefiles.patch

31

1

</pre>

32

1

By default (and I apologize for this bad practice), this @ebuild@ is marked as stable on arch "@amd64@" (64 bits linux). Add your arch is needed in the @KEYWORDS@ variable in the @ebuild@ file (e.g. "@x86@", or better "@~x86@".)

33

34

1

* Generate the @Manifest@

35

1

Still as @root@ user :

36

1

<pre>

37

1

cd /usr/local/portage/app-office/auto-multiple-choice/

38

1

ebuild auto-multiple-choice-1.2.1.ebuild manifest clean

39

1

</pre>

40

1

Now AMC should be ready for installation. Each and every time you change the @ebuild@, you need to generate again the @Manifest@.

41

1

42

1

* Install AMC

43

1

All that is left to do, is to run your favorite "@emerge@" line :

44

1

<pre>

45

1

emerge -qav auto-multiple-choice

46

1

</pre>

No existing @overlay@ yet. :-(

h2. Updates to the documentation

The provided @ebuild@ and this documentation are relatively new and untested. Feel free to adapt and to give some feedback (forums or wiki).
