[Awale-developpeur] awale on gentoo

[Dominique Michel]

Hi,

I try to make a gentoo ebuild that will install awale-1.5 on gentoo and
respect gentoo policies.

When installing awale in /usr/local, it all is working fine.
If I done an ebuild that install awale in /usr, all is working fine,
but I cannot publish it. Gentoo want the executables for games
in /usr/games/bin, the data in /usr/share/games, and the man pages
should be in /usr/share/man

With portage, that give me:

>>> Configuring source
>>> in /var/tmp/portage/games-board/awale-1.5/work/awale-1.5 ...
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr/games --libdir=/usr/games/lib64
--datadir=/usr/share/games --sysconfdir=/etc/games
--localstatedir=/var/games --disable-dependency-tracking
--bindir=/usr/games/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man

but I get 3 problems.

1) the path is not updated in xawale, so I must patch it with sed:
  sed -i -e "s:share:../share/games:" /usr/games/bin/xawale
That's trivial with portage:
  sed -i -e "s:share:../share/games:" ${D}/usr/games/bin/xawale
which give
  `dirname $0`/../../share/games/awale/xawale.tcl

More important to me are:
2) the man pages are still installed into /usr/games/share/man

3) awale is working fine. xawale start, I can start a new game, but
when I click on a hole to make a move, I get an error window instead of
the move. The message goes out of the window, so I cannot read it, but
it look like xawale doesn't find some path.

I try several configure options, but nothing was working. Do you have
any clue?
