A missing '\' src_install part in the ebuild makes it stop from installing ie. binaries src_install() { emake \ prefix="${D}"/usr \ mandir="${D}"/usr/share/man infodir="${D}"/usr/share/info \ libdir="${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir) \ install should be src_install() { emake \ prefix="${D}"/usr \ mandir="${D}"/usr/share/man \ infodir="${D}"/usr/share/info \ libdir="${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir) \ install

Thanks for pointing it out. Just wondering how I could miss that. @sam Not sure how an array could help here.

Sorry, hit enter prematurely: local myemakeargs=( A=1 B=1 ... ) emake "${myemakeargs[@]}" The lack of a '\' doesn't matter because arrays don't need them.
