Emerge: WIP Unix support (unix3 branch)

[Hannah von Reth]

Hi,
The branch is still a bit dirty.
Make sure to not change the compiler, keep it a mingw4 (it will choose the correct compiler itself).Do change the setting for make program and replace jom with make.
If you intend to build qt you should install its dependencies from your distro [1].
Cheers,
Hannah

Heya,
 
a few people might have noticed a few odd-looking commits in Emerge recently. 
In fact, Hannah has been working on adding Unix support to Emerge! [1]
 
That means, you can run Emerge on either Linux or OS X now, too!
 
This is all very much work in progress so far, but we already got Kate to 
build & run under OS X, using Emerge, it worked out pretty well for us. I've 
mentioned the Linux & OS X ports on [1], since then a few people approached me 
for more information.
 
Here it is.
 
# Try it out
 
In order to try it out:
 
$ mkdir kderoot
$ cd kderoot
$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/emerge
$ cd emerge
$ git checkout unix3
 
$ mkdir ../etc
$ cp kdesettings ../etc/kdesettings.ini
$ vi ../etc/kdesettings.ini
 
Add the following to the [Portage] section:
 
Ignores = dev-util/.*;win32libs/(?!(libraw)).*;binary/.*;qt-libs/
phonon;kdesupport/kdewin
 
Start to build:
 
$ emerge qt5
 
# Road map for Unix support
 
Here's our road map so far, but keep in mind this is just a 'side project' 
right now:
 
- Wait for basic Windows CI on build.kde.org
- Stabilize Unix support branch (unix3)
- Then merge the unix3 branch into master
 
Hope that helps those guys trying out Emerge on other platforms than Windows.
 
Cheers,
Kevin
