[gentoo-dev] STLport ebuild

[Sean Mitchell]

Hi All....

Emboldened by my success with doxygen, I have ventured on to the next thing
I need in Gentoo, which is STLport.

Like doxygen, STLport is a bit of an oddball. Basically it builds a couple
library files in the build tree then leaves it to you to put the libraries
and headers somewhere.

I've set up the libraries to go in /usr/lib and the includes to go in
/usr/include/stlport. Any reason they shouldn't go there?

I just create the directories I need in ${D} and then populate them with a
couple cp -r commands. Is this okay or is there a Better Way?

Here's the ebuild:

------------------SNIP------------------
S=${WORKDIR}/${P}
DESCRIPTION="STLport is a multiplatform ANSI C++ Standard Library
implementation."

SRC_URI="http://www.stlport.org/archive/${P}.tar.gz"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.stlport.org"

src_compile()
{
   cd ${S}/src
   try make -f gcc.mak clean all
}

src_install()
{
   mkdir -p ${D}/usr/include/stlport
   mkdir -p ${D}/usr/lib
   cp -r ${S}/stlport/* ${D}/usr/include/stlport
   cp -r ${S}/lib/* ${D}/usr/lib
   dodoc README INSTALL TODO ChangeLog
}
------------------SNIP------------------

If anyone has any comments I'll update this otherwise I'll test it a bit
more and then post it to the list.

Cheers,

Sean
