Starting on OS X...

<><><><>

Ok, so I started on http://gentoo-w
iki.com/Portage-prefix at the very
top of the page.  I downloaded
http://dev.gentoo.org/~kito/distfiles/portage
-prefix-latest.tar.bz2
and then configured and installed portage in ~/gentoo, and
then the
page sort of drops off.

Running ~/gentoo/usr/bin/emerge gives:

>>> //Users/nathan/gentoo/tmp doesn't exist,
creating it...
>>> //Users/nathan/gentoo/var/tmp doesn't exist,
creating it...
>>> //Users/nathan/gentoo/var/lib doesn't exist,

!!! Problem with sandbox binary. Disabling...

--- 'profiles/updates' is empty or not available. Empty
portage tree?
emerge: wheel group use is being deprecated. Please update
group and passwd to
        include the portage user as noted above, and then
use group portage.
!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile
symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

<><><><>

Then, further down on the page there's an  "OSX quick
bootstrap
(experimental)" section.  It starts off with
"First, find the
bootstrap script and let it install portage."

Elsewhere on the page it says "Bootstrapping is done
using a bootstrap
script in $/scripts/bootstrap-prefix.sh." 
<-- but theres no
bootstrap-prefix.sh anywhere in my ~/gentoo

What next?

Ok, I'd suggest to use the bootstrap script instead:

A bit stupid, but it's in the latest prefix-tree snapshot. 
Download it,
unpack it and run the script.  It downloads a snapshot again
and
everything necessary for a first bootstrap.

See if you can get to start the bootstrap script.

Thanks for trying

I actually found
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experi
mental/snapshots/portage-alt-prefix-latest.tar.bz2
before you sent this email.  I untarred it, but it just
looked like
the contents of /usr/portage--I didn't think to search for
the
bootstrap script inside of it.

No problem.

I downloaded that and started it, and then while it was
running
redownloaded the latest portage-alt-prefix snapshot and
found
script/bootstrap-prefix.sh ... comparing it to the one you
linked to,
it looks like the one in the latest snapshot is newer. 
(doh)

Is the bootstrap script OS X-specific, or is supposed to
work on other
architectures as well?

Ok, I stopped the bootstrap that kurt linked to, downloaded
the latest
alt snapshot, started that bootstrap, and it failed
downloading
gcc-5341 (see below).

What next?

Autsj... I did that yesterday without checking... bad me!
Hmm. ok.  The url should be this:
http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/tarballs/oth
er/gcc-5341.tar.gz

I'll fix the bootstrap script now
