Passing build/configure parameters to emerge 1

[zeland]

I'm setting up a workstation running Gentoo and I'm installing samba. I was looking for winbind but I think it's not built during emerge. How do I go about passing a build parameter like --with-winbind to emerge? I had once tried porthole and it had options that I could tweek for each package. I was unable to try porthole this time round because its masked.

You need to add winbind to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf, then it will be built.

Otherwise try:

USE="winbind" emerge -pv samba

The -pv switch will not actually merge the package; it will just show you the flags that affect said package and which are being used.

Remove the -pv switch to actually install it.
