Posted on December 20, 2022December 23, 2022 By oarsman No Comments on How to Write an Ebuild on Gentoo

An ebuild is a script written in the Gentoo Linux Portage system that contains the instructions for building and installing a package. Here is a step-by-step guide to writing an ebuild on Gentoo:

  1. Create a directory for the ebuild: Ebuilds are stored in a directory structure that reflects the package’s name and version. For example, the ebuild for version 1.2.3 of the package “foo” would be stored in a directory called “foo-1.2.3”. Create this directory in the appropriate location in the Portage tree.
