Please # remember to remove them before submitting or committing your ebuild. That # doesn't mean you can't add your own comments though. # The 'Header' on the third line should just be left alone. When your ebuild # will be committed to cvs, the details on that line will be automatically # generated to contain the correct data. # inherit lists eclasses to inherit functions from. Almost all ebuilds should # inherit eutils, as a large amount of important functionality has been # moved there. For example, the $(get_libdir) mentioned below wont work # without the following line: inherit eutils # A well-used example of an eclass function that needs eutils is epatch. If # your source needs patches applied, it's suggested to put your patch in the # 'files' directory and use: # # epatch ${FILESDIR}/patch-name-here # # eclasses tend to list descriptions of how to use their functions properly. # take a look at /usr/portage/eclasses/ for more examples. # Short one-line description of this package. DESCRIPTION="This is a sample skeleton ebuild file" # Homepage, not used by Portage directly but handy for developer reference HOMEPAGE="http://foo.bar.com/" # Point to any required sources; these will be automatically downloaded by # Portage. SRC_URI="ftp://foo.bar.com/${P}.tar.gz" # License of the package. This must match the name of file(s) in # /usr/portage/licenses/. For complex license combination see the developer # docs on gentoo.org for details. LICENSE="" # The SLOT variable is used to tell Portage if it's OK to keep multiple # versions of the same package installed at the same time. For example, # if we have a libfoo-1.2.2 and libfoo-1.3.2 (which is not compatible # with 1.2.2), it would be optimal to instruct Portage to not remove # libfoo-1.2.2 if we decide to upgrade to libfoo-1.3.2. To do this, # we specify SLOT="1.2" in libfoo-1.2.2 and SLOT="1.3" in libfoo-1.3.2. # emerge clean understands SLOTs, and will keep the most recent version # of each SLOT and remove everything else. # Note that normal applications should use SLOT="0" if possible, since # there should only be exactly one version installed at a time. # DO NOT USE SLOT=""! This tells Portage to disable SLOTs for this package. SLOT="0" # Using KEYWORDS, we can record masking information *inside* an ebuild # instead of relying on an external package.mask file. Right now, you # should set the KEYWORDS variable for every ebuild so that it contains # the names of all the architectures with which the ebuild works. All of # the official architectures can be found in the keywords.desc file which # is in /usr/portage/profiles/. Usually you should just set this to "~x86". # The ~ in front of the architecture indicates that the package is new and # should be considered unstable until testing proves its stability. Once # packages go stable the ~ prefix is removed. So, if you've confirmed that # your ebuild works on x86 and ppc, you'd specify: KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc" # For packages that are platform-independent (like Java, PHP or Perl # applications) specify all keywords. # For binary packages, use -* and then list the archs the bin package # exists for. If the package was for an x86 binary package, then # KEYWORDS would be set like this: KEYWORDS="-* x86" # DO NOT USE KEYWORDS="*". This is deprecated and only for backward # compatibility reasons. KEYWORDS="~x86" # Comprehensive list of any and all USE flags leveraged in the ebuild, # with the exception of any ARCH specific flags, i.e. "ppc", "sparc", # "x86" and "alpha". This is a required variable. If the ebuild doesn't # use any USE flags, set to "". IUSE="X gnome" # A space delimited list of portage features to restrict. man 5 ebuild # for details. Usually not needed. #RESTRICT="nostrip" # Build-time dependencies, such as # ssl? ( >=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6b ) # >=dev-lang/perl-5.6.1-r1 # It is advisable to use the >= syntax show above, to reflect what you # had installed on your system when you tested the package. Then # other users hopefully won't be caught without the right version of # a dependency. DEPEND="" # Run-time dependencies, same as DEPEND if RDEPEND isn't defined: #RDEPEND="" # Source directory; the dir where the sources can be found (automatically # unpacked) inside ${WORKDIR}. The default value for S is ${WORKDIR}/${P} # If you don't need to change it, leave the S= line out of the ebuild # to keep it tidy. S=${WORKDIR}/${P} src_compile() { # Most open-source packages use GNU autoconf for configuration. # You should use something similar to the following lines to # configure your package before compilation. The "|| die" portion # at the end will stop the build process if the command fails. # You should use this at the end of critical commands in the build # process.

However if you do this, then # you also need to specify mandir and infodir, since they were # passed to ./configure as absolute paths (overriding the prefix # setting). #make \ # prefix=${D}/usr \ # mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \ # infodir=${D}/usr/share/info \ # libdir=${D}/usr/$(get_libdir) \ # install || die # Again, verify the Makefiles!
