the right place where you should put them is in /usr/share/eddie-tool/

how do i tell it to put it in the /usr/share/eddie-tool dir?

When you find that a particular build does not have a utility option to install components to a particular location, and you need to do it that way, then you manually move them around, for eg.: install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/docs/all"/* "$pkgdir/usr/share/docs/"
