Installing Gentoo with VDR

From IdefixWiki

I have here an AMD64 but with the 64-bit version of Gentoo I had several problem with some VDR plugins so I went back to the 32-bit version. To install Gentoo download the livecd and use the GUI installer, see Gentoo documentation how to do it (I used 2006.1).

After the installation is finished boot your new gentoo.

Edit make.conf and add:

LIRC_DEVICES="serial"

Now we must install some packages first which VDR or the plugins I use needs to compile correctly.

emerge --sync
emerge portage
etc-update
emerge gentoolkit eix gentoo-sources mc app-admin/sudo

Now compile the kernel with your DVB drivers and everything else, reboot your new kernel.

Now we install software needed by VDR:

emerge lirc imagemagick sys-libs/libcap media-libs/libmad media-libs/libid3tag media-libs/libvorbis media-libs/libsndfile \
       media-libs/libdvdnav media-libs/a52dec dev-libs/boost media-libs/gd cvs subversion
