Running IFL on 64-bit Gentoo Linux
Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:34 pm
I've noticed there were no Gentoo specific instructions on the support article for How to run IFL on 64-bit Linux distributions, so I decided to share my findings. I hope that it might help someone in the future.
First make a new package.use file for IFL:
In that file enter/copy-paste the following:
Finally build the packages ncurses-compat and libpng-compat. The standard ncurses and libpng won't work, as they are the latest versions and 64-bit builds. IFL requires older versions ncurses 5 and libpng 1.2 in x86 32-bit binaries:
The above instructions were tested on Gentoo 2.15 64-bit running IFL 3.64.
First make a new package.use file for IFL:
