Patch for Makefile so that it intalls in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. Used by ebuild.

Ebuild for v0.1 take two

Oops. Forgot to add ~x86 to keywords.

LICENSE should be GPL-2, not GPLv2 <http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/licenses/index.html>.  Traditionally, KEYWORDS is alphabetized, so you should move amd64 to appear before x86.  Attachment #195591 [details] declares functions using:

function foo {
}

Usually, ebuilds declare functions using:

foo() {
}

src_prepare starts in $S, so you do not need to cd to it <http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/index.html#phases>.  Similarly, src_install starts in $S if it is a directory.  Given the simplicity of the installation process, you may be better off dropping the Makefile patch and instead installing the finished file directly from src_install using the installation helper functions <http://devmanual.gentoo.org/function-reference/install-functions/index.html>.

bsod-0.1-prefix.patch

Another trial of fixing the hardcoded paths in the app's Makefile

bsod-0.1.ebuild

This is the ebuild that I used to install the package

Take three

I tried to fix whatever was wrong with this ebuild. So goes take three.
No patch, no src_prepare, no EAPI=2, and doc USE-flag.
Should work out, I think.
Thanks for your notes, Kevin.

Looking good, last ebuild works flawlessly, good to be included imho!
