Hi,

I've got a question about eBuilds. They are files with a syntax similar to bash and are responsible to create a software-package, right? In it there are build functions like

Code:

src_install ()
emake DESTDIR="${D}" install
dodoc AUTHORS README NEWS

and there is a command called emake (I think, this command is responsible to create the package from the source-code). But I cannot find a command with this name on my gentoo-system. Where can I found emake or in other words how would it be invoked?

regards,
Roland

The ebuild function are located in

Code:

/usr/lib/portage/python<version>/
/usr/lib/portage/python<version>/ebuild-helpers
