USE flags

  • abi_mips_n32 - 64-bit (32-bit pointer) libraries
  • abi_mips_n64 - 64-bit libraries
  • abi_mips_o32 - 32-bit libraries
  • abi_s390_32 - 32-bit (s390) libraries
  • abi_s390_64 - 64-bit (s390x) libraries
  • abi_x86_32 - 32-bit (x86) libraries
  • abi_x86_64 - 64-bit (amd64) libraries
  • abi_x86_x32 - x32 ABI libraries
  • audit - Enable support for Linux audit subsystem using sys-process/audit
  • bluetooth - Enable Bluetooth Support
  • concheck - Enable connectivity checking support
  • connection-sharing - Support connection sharing (uses net-dns/dnsmasq)
  • debug - Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
  • dhclient - Use dhclient from net-misc/dhcp for getting an IP via DHCP
  • dhcpcd - Use net-misc/dhcpcd for getting an IP
  • elogind - Use sys-auth/elogind for session tracking
  • gnutls - Prefer net-libs/gnutls as SSL/TLS provider (ineffective with USE=-ssl)
  • gtk-doc - Build and install gtk-doc based developer documentation for dev-util/devhelp, IDE and offline use
  • introspection - Add support for GObject based introspection
  • iptables - Use net-firewall/iptables for connection sharing
  • iwd - Use net-wireless/iwd instead of net-wireless/wpa_supplicant for wifi support by default
  • libedit - Use the libedit library (replacement for readline)
  • lto - Build using Link Time Optimizations (LTO)
  • modemmanager - Enable support for mobile broadband devices using net-misc/modemmanager
  • nftables - Use net-firewall/nftables for connection sharing
  • nss - Use dev-libs/nss for cryptography
  • ofono - Use net-misc/ofono for telephony support.
  • ovs - Enable OpenVSwitch support
  • policykit - Enable PolicyKit (polkit) authentication support
  • ppp - Enable support for mobile broadband and PPPoE connections using net-dialup/ppp
  • psl - Use public suffix list via net-libs/libpsl
  • resolvconf - Use net-dns/openresolv for managing DNS information in /etc/resolv.conf. Generally, a symlink to /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf is simpler. On systems running systemd-resolved, disable this flag and create a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf.
  • selinux - !!internal use only!! Security Enhanced Linux support, this must be set by the selinux profile or breakage will occur
  • syslog - Enable support for syslog
  • systemd - Enable use of systemd-specific libraries and features like socket activation or session tracking
  • teamd - Enable Teamd control support
  • test - Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
  • tools - Build cli tools such as nmcli, nmtui and nm_cloud_setup
  • vala - Enable bindings for dev-lang/vala
  • wext - Enable support for the deprecated Wext (Wireless Extensions) API; needed for some older drivers (e.g. ipw2200, ndiswrapper)
  • wifi - Enable support for wifi and 802.1x security
