Just checked it, and have few remarks.
Here is a part of the supplied sample ebuild :
src_compile() {
econf || die "could not configure"
emake || die "emake failed"
}
An here is the revelant documentation :
...
*Note: There is no need to use '|| die' because
econf checks for you
...
*Note: Be sure to use '|| die' constructs to
ensure emake success
1. The example should be updated.
src_compile() {
econf
emake || die "emake failed"
}
2. It might be a good idea to change emake so that it works just like
econf and einstall. What do you think ? Goal: get a simpler, more
consistent API.
Also right now econf is implemented as a function, and emake as a
program. Is there a good reason for this ? Sure, it does not really
matter from an ebuild writter point of view, it's more a "spring
cleanup" kind of suggestion.
Ok, enough for today :)
