I'm trying to fix some outdated port, and beka aware that it also seems
to have an invalid pkg_plist, so I tried to install it into
/var/tmp/xxx to check the existing plist.
It turns out that the port seems to disregard PREFIX. If I change
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --quiet --with-logdir=/var/log
to
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --quiet --with-logdir=/var/log --prefix=${PREFIX}
then I get the proper PREFIX. The Porters Handbook has this to say:
> If you want to give some extra arguments to configure (the default
> argument list --prefix=${PREFIX} for GNU configure and empty for
> non-GNU configure), set those extra arguments in CONFIGURE_ARGS.

makefile-build.html
This could be understood to mean that CONFIGURE_ARGS are appended to
the default list, but it seems the default list gets replaced with what
you specify in CONFIGURE_ARGS.
A quick survey of other Makefiles shows:
2658 have a CONFIGURE_ARGS entry
1105 set CONFIGURE_ARGS=
1518 add to CONFIGURE_ARGS (+=)
98 set or add --prefix= to CONFIGURE_ARGS
In light of this, should I change the Makefile from
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --quiet --with-logdir=/var/log
to
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --quiet --with-logdir=/var/log
or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Stefan
