[gentoo-dev] ebuild help: zile

[Stephen Boulet]

I'm trying to make an ebuild for zile, a tiny emacs clone.

When done manually, this works:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man || die
   make
 
When done in an ebuild, I get:

gcc -c -I. -I.. -I. -I./../lib -march=i686 -O3 -pipe window.c
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `term_ncurses/libterm_ncurses.a',  needed 
by `zile'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
rm -f libterm_ncurses.a
ar rc libterm_ncurses.a term_ncurses.o ncurses_key.o ncurses_minibuf.o 
ncurses_misc.o ncurses_redisplay.o
ranlib libterm_ncurses.a
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/zile-1.7/work/zile-1.7-a6/src/term_ncurses'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/zile-1.7/work/zile-1.7-a6/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Whereas when it works by hand, I get:

gcc  -o zile basic.o bind.o buffer.o file.o fontlock.o fontlock_c.o 
fontlock_cpp.o fontlock_csharp.o fontlock_java.o funcs.o glue.o help.o keys.o

search.o undo.o variables.o window.o term_ncurses/libterm_ncurses.a 
../lib/libzile.a  -lncurses
funcs.o: In function `F_shell_command_on_region':
funcs.o(.text+0xeed): the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
echo '.\" Automatically generated file: NO DOT EDIT!' >zile.1
sed "s+@ETCDIR@+/usr/share/zile+" <./zile.1.in >>zile.1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/stephen/src/zile-1.7-a6/src'

The entire ebuild is below. Thanks for any hints.

# Short one-line description of this package.
DESCRIPTION="Zile is a tiny emacs clone; it's a customizable, self-documenting 
real-time open-source display editor."

# Homepage, not used by Portage directly but handy for developer reference
HOMEPAGE="http://zile.sourceforge.net/"

# Point to any required sources; these will be automatically downloaded by
# Portage.
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/zile/zile-1.7-a6.tar.gz"

# License of the package. This must match the name of file(s) in
# /usr/portage/licenses/. For complex license combination see the developer
# docs on gentoo.org for details.
LICENSE="BSD"

# The SLOT variable is used to tell Portage if it's OK to keep multiple
# versions of the same package installed at the same time. For example,
# if we have a libfoo-1.2.2 and libfoo-1.3.2 (which is not compatible
# with 1.2.2), it would be optimal to instruct Portage to not remove
# libfoo-1.2.2 if we decide to upgrade to libfoo-1.3.2. To do this,
# we specify SLOT="1.2" in libfoo-1.2.2 and SLOT="1.3" in libfoo-1.3.2.
# emerge clean understands SLOTs, and will keep the most recent version
# of each SLOT and remove everything else.
# Note that normal applications should use SLOT="0" if possible, since
# there should only be exactly one version installed at a time.
# DO NOT USE SLOT=""! This tells Portage to disable SLOTs for this package.
SLOT="0"

# Using KEYWORDS, we can record masking information *inside* an ebuild
# instead of relying on an external package.mask file. Right now, you
# should set the KEYWORDS variable for every ebuild so that it contains
# the names of all the architectures with which the ebuild works. We have
# 4 official architecture names right now: "x86", "ppc", "sparc" and
# "sparc64". So, if you've confirmed that your ebuild works on x86 and ppc,
# you'd specify: KEYWORDS="x86 ppc"
# For packages that are platform-independant (like Java, PHP or Perl
# applications) specify all keywords.
# DO NOT USE KEYWORDS="*". This is deprecated and only for backward
# compatibility reasons.
KEYWORDS="x86"

# Build-time dependencies, such as
#    ssl? ( >=openssl-0.9.6b )
#    >=perl-5.6.1-r1
# It is advisable to use the >= syntax show above, to reflect what you
# had installed on your system when you tested the package.  Then
# other users hopefully won't be caught without the right version of
# a dependency.
DEPEND="sys-libs/ncurses"

# Run-time dependencies, same as DEPEND if RDEPEND isn't defined:
#RDEPEND=""

# Source directory; the dir where the sources can be found (automatically
# unpacked) inside ${WORKDIR}.  S will get a default setting of 
${WORKDIR}/${P}
# if you omit this line.

S="${WORKDIR}/${P}"

src_compile() {
	# Most open-source packages use GNU autoconf for configuration.
	# You should use something similar to the following lines to
	# configure your package before compilation.  The "|| die" portion
	# at the end will stop the build process if the command fails.
	# You should use this at the end of critical commands in the build
	# process.  (Hint: Most commands are critical, that is, the build
	# process should abort if they aren't successful.)
	cd $S"-a6"
	./configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info \
	    --mandir=/usr/share/man || die "./configure failed"
#		--host=${CHOST} \

	# Note the use of --infodir and --mandir, above. This is to make
	# this package FHS 2.2-compliant.  For more information, see
	#   http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

	# emake (previously known as pmake) is a script that calls the
	# standard GNU make with parallel building options for speedier
	# builds (especially on SMP systems).  Try emake first.  It might
	# not work for some packages, in which case you'll have to resort
	# to normal "make".
	emake || die
	#make || die
}

src_install () {
	# You must *personally verify* that this trick doesn't install
	# anything outside of DESTDIR; do this by reading and
	# understanding the install part of the Makefiles.
	make DESTDIR=${D} install || die
	# For Makefiles that don't make proper use of DESTDIR, setting
	# prefix is often an alternative.  However if you do this, then
	# you also need to specify mandir and infodir, since they were
	# passed to ./configure as absolute paths (overriding the prefix
	# setting).
	#make \
	#	prefix=${D}/usr \
	#	mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \
	#	infodir=${D}/usr/share/info \
	#	install || die
	# Again, verify the Makefiles!  We don't want anything falling
	# outside of ${D}.
