Hi, Please find attached Littre-0.1.ebuild. Littre is the famous French dictionary called "Le littré". He comes with a qt based interface. (Sorry but I'm not a hacker so I'll try to find dependencies later). I suggest app-dicts/Littre. Have a good party ! (And I'm so sorry for my English of course)

Philippe, I suggest you to put a bit improved ebuild in user's overlay sunrise: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki Thus you'll be able to maintain and use it without waiting for maintainer to appear. But this version of ebuild could be improved: 1. ebuild name should not contain uppercase letters: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap3 2. DESCRIPTION probably can be improved. From what language to what. Or is it explanatory dictionary or what? Sorry I've learned French too many years ago to find out that by myself :) 3. If you use variable take it in {}. This is our coding standard. So, please, do ${HOMEPAGE} inside SRC_URI 4. drop DEPEND and RDEPEND if they are empty. But I'm sure empty {R,}DEPENDs is an error, since this package use some widgets to draw GUI elements... 5. src_unpack is redudant, just drop it. There exist default src_unpack which will do all the work. 6. don't do 'cd ${WORKDIR}' in src_unpack. Just define S correctly (put S=${WORKDIR} after {R,}DEPEND. 7. Is it qt3 or qt4 application? You should just inhertit correct eclass (qt3 or qt4) and use eqmake3 or eqmake4 function from there. In other case you'll have to do a lot of hack to make ebuild respect CC, CFLAGS and other things.... 8. don't use make. Use emake. And don't forgive || die at the end. 9. src_install probably could use emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die after you fix 7. In any case don't use mkdir, use dodir. Or better just dobin (man 5 ebuild).
Comment on attachment 176909 [details] Littre-1.0.ebuild With all that changes required, I deprecate currently attached ebuild. It's not ready for users consumption.
And forgot to note: Better use app-text category since app-dicts category: is for dictionaries and word-list packages: " The app-dicts category contains dictionary and word-list packages."

Hy Peter. First, thanks a lot for all yours indications, they help me to improve my Gentoo knowledge ! \o/ I commit the new ebuild upper. There is 2 problems now : - The Makefile don't have a install target, so I do it manually as you can see - The binary file (Littre), needs 2 other binary (Littre.qm and Littre.dat) files (which contains data), and they must be in the same directory. But these 2 files are not executable directly. So I thinks they should not be in /usr/bin but /usr/share :) . I'll make a patch to fix that problem. I'm right ? Thanks. Phil

Yes, it's bad idea to install binary files into /usr/{s,}bin locations. Patch is good fix and don't forgive to send patch upstream, so with next release we could drop the patch. BTW, two comments for your ebuild: 1. you don't need || die after eqmake4 since if you look at the source eqmake4 function will die itself if something goes wrong 2. Don't use UTF-8 in description and anywhere besides comments (and even in comment it's better to avoid UTF-8. Although PMS states that ebuild is UTF-8 we have policy which covers encodings in the tree: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0031.html
