Emerging [BUG]

[danielgomez3]

Describe the bug
I have trouble emerging iptsd1.2.0 and surface-control-9999
I have a Surface pro 7. I've gotten this all to work perfectly on an arch linux system. I would love to help if I can make this work, or maintain if needed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
❯ sudo emerge -a iptsd surface-control

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

A complete build. But it stops with erros.

Additional context
Please provide ouput from the gentoo messages that come up when the build fails

❯ sudo emerge -a iptsd

Please let me know if more information needed, or if I can offer help to maintain or solve issues. I've noticed that some of the build tools, like dev-build/ninja are different in the gentoo-surface-overlay than the one supplied by gentoo. So perhaps things are just outdated? I'd love to help.

[jasisonee]

You are using gentoo-linux-surface-overlay. This is a different overlay and hasn't been updated in 3 years. However I have updated all the packages and opened a pull request.

If you are looking for the most up to date packages you may add my fork manually in the mean time.
The command would be eselect repository add linux-surface-overlay git https://github.com/jasisonee/linux-surface-overlay.git
