Re: [gentoo-user] installing software that does not have anebuild script

[brett holcomb]

An ebuild would be best but barring that you could use an RPM or use checkinstall to create an RPM that could be used. At least with an RPM you'd have a database to track what's installed.

Hello everyone,

Is there a standard gentoo method to installing software that does not
have an ebuild script?

Obviously the best thing for me to do is learn how to create an ebuild
script.

Is my second choice doing the standard ./configure make make install?

Or is there a way to build from source and yet get the program into the
portage db?

Thanks for any help you might provide.
