[gentoo-dev] Making an ebuild.

[Aaron Crist]

I am trying to make an ebuild for the coolest filemanager....thats 
right..velocity ;)

Anyway, I have next to zero programming expereience (barring some small 
shell scripts/html), so I am n00b.

Anyway, here is the error I get when emergeing the proggy.  It 
'configures' 'make's  fine, but borks on 'make install'

Here is the output from the failed emerge:

/make[3]: Entering directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/work/velocity-0.1.0/scripts'
chmod a+x /usr/share/velocity/scripts/*
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/usr/share/velocity/scripts/*': No 
such file or directory
make[3]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/work/velocity-0.1.0/scripts'
make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/work/velocity-0.1.0/scripts'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/work/velocity-0.1.0/scripts'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1/

/!!! ERROR: app-misc/velocity-fm-0.1 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 59, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)/

And here is the relevant part of the ebuild:

/src_compile() {
       ./configure \
              --host=${CHOST} \
               --prefix=/usr \
               --infodir=/usr/share/info \
               --mandir=/usr/share/man || die "./configure failed"
       emake || die
       #make || die/

/}/

/src_install() {
      make DESTDIR=${D} install || die
       make \
               prefix=${D}/usr \
               mandir=${D}/usr/share/man \
              infodir=${D}/usr/share/info \
               mkdir usr/share/velocity/scripts
               install || die
}/

Thanks (and I am sorry if this is the wrong mailing-list.) I figured 
portage questions and such were more of devleoper issues.
