>Description:
There is a mistake in Porter's Handbook, Chapter 14.3 PREFIX.
This paragraph:
Also, refer to programs/files from other ports with the variables
mentioned above, not explicit pathnames. For instance, if your port
requires a macro PAGER to be the full pathname of less, use the
compiler flag:
-DPAGER=\"${PREFIX}/bin/less\"
or
-DPAGER=\"${LOCALBASE}/bin/less\"
if this is an X port, instead of -DPAGER=\"/usr/local/bin/less\".
Should IMHO be:

mentioned above, not explicit pathnames. For instance, if your port
requires a macro PAGER to be the full pathname of less, use the
compiler flag:
-DPAGER=\"${LOCALBASE}/bin/less\"
or
-DPAGER=\"${X11BASE}/bin/less\"
if this is an X port, instead of -DPAGER=\"/usr/local/bin/less\".
(Notice the change PREFIX => LOCALBASE and LOCALBASE => X11BASE.)
But I might be wrong.
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at the section 14.3 of the Porter's Handbook.
>Fix:
Change ${PREFIX} to ${LOCALBASE}
and ${LOCALBASE} to ${X11BASE}.
