Description Craig Finch 2008-01-18 23:59:29 UTC 
In two locations, the Ebuild HOWTO in the Developer Handbook recommends using "make install" as the preferred way to implement the src_install function.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1
Section "Functions", entry src_install
Section "Helper Functions", entry einstall

The recommended method, as recommended in the Development Guide, is to use emake rather than call make directly.
