There is a handy script you can use to install Gentoo Prefix on any Mac OS X machine.

For Gentoo Prefix installation to work, you must have the Xcode command-line tools installed, so that a compiler toolchain exists. Here are the steps to install the Xcode command-line tools:
{{console|body=
 
###i## eselect profile add funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/lxqt
# Install Xcode itself from the Apple Mac OS X install media. If you are using Mac OS Lion, then the Apple App Store has Xcode available. Search for "Xcode" and you will be able to download and install it.
###i## emerge lxqt-meta
# Now, start Xcode.
}}
# Go to the Xcode menu, then Preferences, then the Downloads tab.
# Click "Install" next to "Command Line Tools".
# You will need to log in with your Apple Developer ID for the download to continue.
 
Here's how you do it. As root (<tt>sudo su -</tt>), type:
 
The <tt>EPREFIX</tt> variable controls the install location. The default is <tt>~/gentoo</tt>.
 
<console>
$ ##i##wget http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ryao/prefix-install.sh && chmod u+x ./prefix-install.sh && env MAKEOPTS=-j5 ./prefix-install.sh
</console>
 
Bam!
 
Now, let's work on Funtoo Prefix :)

About LXQt

LXQt is a lightweight Desktop environment. Some LXDE developers decided to create a Qt based version of their Desktop environment, it's name was lxde-qt. Around the same time some other people were working on a different minimal Qt based DE called razor-qt. When some developers of those projects met they decided to join forces and work together on one project. LXQt was born.
