4 Hi all,
5
6 i'm not sure if this is the right place for my question, if not, please
7 tell me the right one.
8
9 I'm trying to write an ebuild for a math software called polymake. It
10 uses a non-autotools, makefile and perl based configuration mechanism.
11 This thing will ask questions to the user during the make process.
12 These questions can be answered using the information from make.conf, so
13 it should be automated?
14 Now my question is: How to do it in a clean way?
15 a) Patch the makefile?
16 b) Use a tool like "expect" to answer the questions?
17
18 Attached you find my first try (which just asks the questions during merge).

20 Thanks already, any comment is appreciated.
