games-puzzle/ngstar-2.1.8 installs in /usr/games/share/. The correct path is
/usr/share/games/

As a side note, two other games I know that have the same problem are
circuslinux and ultimatestunts:
cloud ngstar # ls /usr/games/share/
doc  ultimatestunts
cloud ngstar # ls /usr/games/share/doc/
circuslinux-1.0.3

Created an attachment (id=84973) [details]
ngstar-2.1.8.ebuild.patch

I also added the user's CXXFLAGS and a static USE flag

path fixed in portage. Thanks for report

Your fix is a lot more elegant than the hack I submited.

However, is there a reason the CXXFLAGS and static USE flag stuff was dropped?

There is always a reason:
personally I don't see a reason why we should choose to build static. If it
come alongs, I will put that. I prefer keeping it simple.

And for the CXXFLAGS, I was too much taken on fixing the path, that I simply
forgot. I realized just after commit.

For games, I have to agree with you, though I do use the static USE flag for
some utilities. When I put that in I just thought about giving people more
options (since this is Gentoo after all ;), but you're right... it's not
essential.

If the static issue is not that important, I think this is pretty important for
several reasons, the biggest being control: having a package build with some
use flags that are outside your control is not a very good idea IMO. So even if
you decide against the static USE flag, please fix this issue.

I will fix compiler flags

You should also inherit eutils in ngstar-2.1.8-r1.ebuild since you use epatch.

Compiler flags fixed. Thanks
