Using spmenu on Gentoo

If you're using Gentoo Linux, you can install spmenu from my overlay. This overlay provides the x11-misc/spmenu and x11-misc/spmenuify packages.

USE flags

  • X
    • Enable X11 support
  • wayland

Installation

If you aren't using ~amd64 keywords globally, unmask it in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords. If you prefer, you can unmask the Git version, if you want to always run the latest commit and have Portage manage spmenu.

Then simply emerge x11-misc/spmenu, and optionally x11-misc/spmenuify.

Works

Everything.

Issues

None caused by Gentoo.
