Do the Makefiles use the variable DESTDIR ? If they do, then use: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
make DESTDIR=${D} install || die "install failed" |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Otherwise, it could be that a particular variable needs to be set in |
| 12 |
addition to einstall (if you choose to use it). You'll have to delve |
| 13 |
into the file, find the variable that is set to /usr/share/pixmaps and |
| 14 |
override it using something like: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
einstall pixmapdir=${D}/usr/share/pixmaps |

The best way of learning is to look at how other ebuilds do it. Maybe |
| 23 |
someone can write an ebuild FAQ to document all the tricks that are in |
| 24 |
use :) |
