[gentoo-dev] <foo>-config scripts.

[Terje Kvernes]

I've been looking at making a series of ebuilds for GGZ Gaming
  Zone <url: http://ggz.sourceforge.net > and I've run into a dead
  end.  

  now, fixing "easysock", "ggz-client-libs" and "ggz-gtk-client" is
  trivial.  but, "ggz-client-libs" installs /usr/bin/ggz-config, which
  the "ggz-gtk-games" configure file uses to find ggzs data- and
  lib-dir.  this might be all well, if it hadn't been for the sandbox,
  which cries "yelp" and dies.  for obvious reasons.  now, what to do?

  patching the makefile is ugly as hell, it has just been created by
  the configure-script.  patching the configure-script is slightly
  more esthetic, but technically a hellhole.  for further pleasure the
  configure scripts says:

# Check whether --with-ggz-config or --without-ggz-config was given.

  wild guess, does anyone believe the script actually runs without
  ggz-config? 

  any ideas on a workable solution is greatly appreciated.
