`cpuid2cpuflags` can be used to identify and add USE flags on the setup step. Zafarella (talk) 16:36, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Fix improper sequencing regarding CPU USE_EXPAND flags

Talk status

This discussion is done as of 2024-04-28.

The "configuring the USE variable" section of this page should be moved before the step to update the world set. Some packages will complain if the CPU_FLAGS are not set prior to emerging. As an example, rust will complain about SSE2 support if the CPU_FLAGS are not set properly. The way that this article is currently written does not make this clear, and leads to confusion when the world set update does not work under certain portage profiles.

I am going to close this topic as it appears that this change has been made to the page. Static (talk) 22:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
