Install LXQt on Sabayon 14

This is a quick guide to installing LXQt desktop (current version LXQt 0.7.0) on Gentoo based Sabayon Linux (current release 14.06).


Firstly, remove razor-qt to avoid file collisions.

Use Layman to add the Qt overlay:
layman -a qt
Use Emerge to attempt to install lxqt-meta:
emerge -av lxqt-base/lxqt-meta
If it fails copy the text below regarding keywords, and paste into
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
Attempt to install again:
emerge -av lxqt-base/lxqt-meta
If it fails copy the text below warning the about unmask, paste into
/etc/portage/portage.unmask/99-lxqt.package.unmask
Attempt to install again:
emerge -av lxqt-base/lxqt-meta
If it fails on lxqt-panel download from source and manually compile and install:

 mkdir /usr/src/lxqt-panel
 cd /usr/src/lxqt-panel 
  wget http://lxqt.org/downloads/lxqt/0.7.0/lxqt-panel-0.7.0.tar.gz
 tar xvf lxqt-panel-0.7.0.tar.gz
 cd lxqt-panel
 mkdir build
 cd build
 cmake ..
 make
 sudo make install

If other packages from lxqt-meta have not installed, you may install them individually using Emerge, e.g.:
emerge -av  lxqt-base/lxqt-session
You should now be able to select LXQt from the login screen.
