USE flags

  • caps - Use Linux capabilities library to control privilege
  • 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
  • doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
  • examples - Install examples, usually source code
  • gdbm - Add support for sys-libs/gdbm (GNU database libraries)
  • maildir - Add support for maildir (~/.maildir) style mail spools
  • pcre - Add support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions
  • static - !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be statically linked instead of dynamically
  • valgrind - Enable annotations for accuracy. May slow down runtime slightly. Safe to use even if not currently using dev-util/valgrind
