Created attachment 426538 [details, diff]
libebook-boost-1.59-makefile.patch

i've managed to make this compile against libebook-0.1.2 by manually patching

the diff does not seem to patch properly .. or is not detected properly .. but the add line does work once in place

modified from lib-ebook commit https://sourceforge.net/p/libebook/code/ci/b903d0dc91f482b348e5840e5a1df599ebd5e6f9/

libebook-0.1.2-r1.ebuild

finally a working ebuild .. required addition of base eclass
and Patches array .. had an issue with typos too..

The patch looks good, thanks!

About the ebuild...

* base.eclass is deprecated and needs to go the way of the dinosaur
  -> PATCHES is part of EAPI=6
* you're patching Makefile.am, but not regenerating Makefile, I'm wondering why 
  that works at all...
  -> added "inherit autotools" and an eautoreconf call

Committed as 0.1.2-r1

Comment 5 Derk W te Bokkel 2016-02-26 15:58:42 UTC

sorry about the use of base.eclass .. I based this on a version of libabw which used base.eclass and EAPI=5 .. with the patches array ..??
perhaps some one forgot to switch it to EAPI=6 and removed base.eclass

Comment 6 Derk W te Bokkel 2016-02-26 16:07:10 UTC

the reason my ebuild works is that only Makefile.am and Makefile.in exist after unpack phase, patches are applied in prepare phase and Makefile generated during configure phase .. after that compile, install phases etc..

manual stepping through ebuilds is very handy ..to trouble shoot :)
