There is a new ebuild for libcgi from http://libcgi.sourceforge.net/. I added a patch to compile somewhat cleanly Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 213908 [details] proposed ebuild
Created attachment 213909 [details] proposed patch to install cleanly This patch adds the $DESTDIR variables and a SONAME linker flag
I didn't test this package, if it installs in parallel with other cgi libs (aka dev-libs/cgilib or dev-libs/fcgi). The Makefile has to be fixed, the patch is send upstream. The configure script could be fixed, i.e to detect -fPIC flags automatically. Not done yet. The linker only spits out libcgi.so without additional links libcgi.so.1*. Not fixed yet. The package looks old and the mailing list not used since a couple of months, but in freshmeat there is some activity with this package.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Justin.

Which gentoo dev team might be interested in the package?
