Hi everyone, I prefer to install everything via ports, but I'm running into problems where I want to customize the instal location but I'm not sure how to do this. For example, the default install locaiton for the Apache 1.3.17 port is /usr/local, butt I would like to make it install to /usr/local/apache (as well as configure some other directories, like the log directory). I don't see any documentation on the `make` and `make install` takin any parameters, nor is there any type of "./configure" possible as there is when you install the source. Upon examining the Makefile, I notice that the presence of a "$PREFIX" variable to determine the install path, but that variable isn't defined anywhere that I can see. Should I be editin the Makefile and hardcode an install path? Will this hamper my ability to use "make deinstall" at a later time? Any help would be great because I'm running into this problem with mySQL as well where I wnat the install directory to be /usr/local/mysql.
