No, einstall is not the preferred method. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
make DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "make install failed" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
is the preferred method. That should work fine for Makefiles that aren't |
| 15 |
broken with regard to DESTDIR. If the Makefiles *are* broken, the best |
| 16 |
thing to do is to fix them and submit a patch upstream. If that's not |
| 17 |
done, *then* falling back to einstall is fine, but that shouldn't be the |
| 18 |
first choice. |
