The DESTDIR variable is supported by most (not all) makefile's. This Makefile 
doesn't so you will need to make a patch on the Makefile, change the prefix 
at install time or some other hack. A trick in this is to get an src.rpm (or 
spec file) to look how rpm based distributions use this library.

[gentoo-dev] ebuild ACCESS VIOLATION Error again

[hanez]

hello gentoo devs,

i'm working on an ebuild for the VRB library. i need this library for 
compiling other things. i have read the developer howtos and the skel.ebuild 
file and still have no idea how i can fix my problems.

i think (please correct me if it's false), that when i'm setting DESTDIR=${D} 
between make and install in src_install(), the ebuild has write access to the 
DESTDIR. when installing VRB i need to have write access to /usr/bin, 
/usr/lib and /usr/include. is this possible??

you can find the error messsage and a part of my ebuild script below.

regards
hanez... ;-)

ok, allright. i have done it another way. the ebuild is ready for use. i have 
build another style of ebuild script but it works perfectly now. ;-P
