my uCurses library

Problems with emerge or ebuilds? Have a basic programming question about C, PHP, Perl, BASH or something else?

my uCurses library

I have been working on a new curses library for a while now and I recently pushed some substantial (though not complete) documentation for it to my github. This lib is not intended as a replacement for ncurses (as if lol). It is intended for use in resource restricted embedded Linux systems and allows for the creation of some very powerful interfaces with pulldown menus, widgets and all kinds of other goodies.

I believe it is mostly in a state where it is ready for general consumption and I have bumped its version from the -0.0.1 it has been at for the entire time I have been working on it to -1.0.

I would love for this to be in portage } : )

I have looked into creating an ebuild for it and I am thoroughly lost, in absolute brain overload. I have absolutely no idea where to start and I've been over the documentation for ebuilds a lot. I have no idea how to proceed.

Is there anyone here who can help me with this? I have no problems with a complete do-over on my build scripts (meson, created for me by a friend because that also threw me for a loop lol) but absolutely do not want any part of auto-tools because meson builds my entire library in about 3 seconds and the auto-tools build I originally used to built significantly fewer sources took 3 minutes or so.

If there is anyone who could help me with this my lib can be found at https://github.com/mark4th/uCurses

Not asking someone to do the work for me, I am just totally out of my depth here on this bit lol

I do not have a dedicated web site for this project other than its github because I have been out of work for about a year now and cannot afford one and I do not trust the freebie sites.
