I really love the Velocity filemanager, as it is extremely fast, yet has lots of features....so I decided to make an ebuild for it.
(please keep in mind I have never done any computer programming besides some small shell scripts and html, so explain with that in mind  )
Anyway, this is what I have done so far:
made the folder 'app-misc/velocity-fm' in my PORTAGE_OVERLAY dir.
copied over the skel.ebuild and skel.changelog.
I edited them as best I could. I got the dependencies to show up, but when I emerge the program, it configure fine, it 'makes' fine, but it screws up when it 'make install.' (It is not the fault of the program as I can install it by hand)
Anyway, this is the error I get:
| Code: |
ocity/scripts/postscript-to-pdf
/bin/install -c -m 644 pdf-to-postscript /var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/image//usr/share/velocity/scripts/pdf-to-postscript
make install-data-hook
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 ebuild:
| Code: |
#RDEPEND=""
#S=${WORKDIR}/velocity-0.1.0
S=/var/tmp/portage/velocity-fm-0.1/work/velocity-0.1.0
src_compile() {
./configure \
--host=${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
(also, are there any good tutorials on making ebuilds, as the one on the gentoo site seemed kind of just a basic overview)
