Can't the rest be automated too? I mean creating the directories and to check first if portage is installed? Would be easier for the users.
Then a link should be created in PATH thet you can type laby everywhere. Thats what I do in my rpm: mkdir -p /usr/games/laby cp -r ./* /usr/games/laby (Here I don't know where the source files are in an ebuild...) cat << EOF > /usr/games/laby/laby #!/bin/sh cd /usr/games/laby ./purebasic.exe EOF (The actual compiled game is named purebasic.exe in the rpm version. And a new executable "laby" is created) chmod 755 /usr/games/laby/laby chmod 666 /usr/games/laby/highscores.dat cat << EOF > /usr/share/applications/laby.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=LostLabyrinth GenericName=LostLabyrinth GenericName[de]=LostLabyrinth Comment=Laby Rulez! Exec=/usr/games/laby/laby Icon=/usr/games/laby/laby.xpm Type=Application Categories=Application;Game;RolePlaying; EOF (This creates a link on the Desktop for Gnome and KDE Users) Only want to help!
