[gentoo-dev] ebuild question

I finally got a Crystal Space ebuild that I can deal with. Unf. there is
one step I need assistance with.

When issuing a "make install", the system looks at either the default
destination directory or the one you set. I've been trying
/usr/local/crystal and if I use that, then "make install" gets a sandbox
violation. If, however, I use ${D}/usr/local/crystal then it installs
but right before that step it rewrites the cs-config script (like
sdl-config, gtk-config, etc.) to say that the location of the CS libs
and headers is /var/tmp/portage/crystal-0.94-r2/image//usr/local/crystal
(or something like that, I don't have it in front of me right now). Of
course, that'll be a bogus location when the package is actually
installed.

Do I need to do some sed magic to fix that somehow, by twiddling with
the cs-config file that's been installed in the image? Or is there some
sort of standard clever way to get around this problem with
non-./configure-style packages?

Random other info:
Meanwhile, I'm still in a position where I can't build optimized builds
with gcc 3.x and I can't use assembler at all. I've been told that CS
requires a special version of nasm or something like that, but haven't
found a direct reference for what works yet. Building a debug build with
no assembler gets me a working install image, I believe, on gcc 3.x and
gcc 2.95.

Regards and thanks,
matt
