How to install custom program from gentoo portage?

[Nick Pavlov]

Hi, guys.

I have question: How to install custom program from gentoo portage?

I want use chromium os for developming on java with JetbrainsIdea.

I need manual for install custom applications from portage and from tar archives.

Also I want to create link on desktop to run somethins applications.

Is it real?

if you mean you want to add the package to your local builds, see:

http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/gentoo-package-upgrade-process

if you mean you have a CrOS device and want to build/install on the device itself, then that's something you'd largely have to do yourself.  the crouton utility might help you get started:

Mike, I want install application from CrOS and I want run this application in CrOS DE, is is posible?

Or I must install my package to my local build and run this package from CrOS

[Mike Frysinger]

most likely you'll need to build it first using the CrOS SDK env, and then deploy it to your device.  otherwise you'll need to install a full Gentoo stage3 chroot and do it all inside of that.

That IDE appears to be an X11 application. The Chrome OS shell opens a single X window and draws all of its browser windows into it; trying to run a second X application simultaneously won't work. You're better off either running Crouton like Mike suggested and installing the IDE there or running the IDE on a different Windows/Mac/Linux system and using Chrome Remote Desktop to connect to it from a Chrome OS device.

Technically it will "work". But the window is not going to be decorated (no way to change focus, resize or move the window). Also, it will perform really badly on ARM Chromebooks because they do not have any 2D acceleration in X11 driver and the driver will have to update window over full screen Chrome window which will involve multiple CPU window copy operations.

And it will stop working at all when we will get rid of X11 entirely.

There are some online IDEs that allow developing on Chromebooks, which seem to be better suited for network/web oriented platform like Chrome OS.
