User:NeddySeagoon/Raspberry Pi 3 64 bit Desktop

Introduction
The 64 bit @system install and the odds and ends described in the [Gentoo_Handbook] were fairly straight forward. The only unusual steps were for the kernel, which needed to be cross compiled.

Xorg and Xfce4 described here have been tested by several people and are included is several of the Gentoo images available for 64 bit Raspberry Pi. However, keywording is a work in progress, especially for the plugins.

Users following this guide are encouraged to make use of package.accept_keywords and file pull requests on Github or bugs for adding the ~arm64 keyword after they have built and tested a package.

While this guide describes Xorg and Xfce4, everyone will want Xorg but the Xfce4 steps are intended to be generic enough to be applied to other lightweight Window Managers.

Wayland users should write their own guide.

Overview
Set up make.conf Install and test xorg-server Install and test xfce4-meta Install and test Xfce plugins

Populate package.accept_keywords as you go.

There's just not enough RAM for gcc and Xfce.
