9 -fPIC should be applied by patching the Makefile and the fix sent
10 upstream.

12 Don't override MAKEOPTS. Simply call 'emake <whatever you want>'.
13
14 As for the DEPEND thing... I dunno... the description makes it seem likt
15 this is invalid:
16
17 DEPEND="stuff needed for runtime and compile time"
18 RDEPEND="${DEPEND} stuff needed just for runtime"
19 DEPEND="${DEPEND} stuff needed just for compile time"
20
21 but that's the way to do it, IMO.

26
27 WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7
28 WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5
