Re: [PyCAM-devel] building from source?

[Paul B. <mis...@gm...>]

I'm assuming the build system will have Python installed, and so a
Makefile should still not be needed, even for something like portage.
You should be able to just run "python setup.py install" within the
.ebuild and that's it. Or for Debian/Ubuntu "python setup.py
bdist_deb" or some such to build a .deb file, or "... bdist_exe" for
Windows, etc...

Really, setup.py *is* Python's Makefile.
