[gentoo-dev] ebuild for xbatt

[gentoo-dev] ebuild for xbatt

[Damon M. Conway]

Here is an ebuild for xbatt.  It's a laptop battery status display for X.
I tested it on my system.  This is my first ebuild, so any comments are
appreciated.

MD5 4ad4d31cd70182ffdad31e0cc885c433 xbatt-1.2.1.tar.gz

This is incorrect.  You need to get all files installed into ${D}, the Portage
temporary directory, rather than install to the root filesystem directly.  Look
at any of our other ebuilds in the Portage tree for examples of how to do this;
basically, you study the Makefile and see if you can override DESTDIR or prefix
to redirect the install somewhere else.

Allright, here's an updated ebuild for xbatt.

This has been added in CVS. Had to do some changes though.

xmkmf included by some reason that the Makefile should create a
html-version of a non-existing man-page. I got around that by

src_compile () {
   try xmkmf
   try make xbatt
}

also in src_install () {
   dodoc README* COPYRIGHT
}

hallski, there's a problem with your replies (maybe not just yours, I recall 
seeing this somewhere a few times before). The line Dan Armak writes: is at 
the top of your post not the bottom and this can be eternally confusing as it 
seems I wrote what you did. So please be careful because the last time (when 
it wasn't my post that was replied to) I misunderstood who wrote what.
