PLEASE read the handbook for how to make a FreeBSD port. I would also
suggest you get almost any existing port and follow its example. Also,
take a glance at /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk. It is *very* readable as
makefiles go.
1) Your su2/Makefile does not quite follow the FreeBSD style:
# New ports collection makefile for: figlet
# Version required: 2.1.1
# Date created: Sat July 20, 1996
# Whom: David O'Brien (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
#
# $Id$
#
...
CATEGORIES+= sysutils
2) su2/work/su2-1.3/Makefile does *NOT* pay attention to $(PREFIX). Change
$(DEST) to $(PREFIX) and this problem will be solved. (the purpose
of ${PREFIX} is to allow people to easly install the program
somewhere else other than /usr/local/).
3) You don't strip the su2 binary (add ``-s'' to the su2 install line in
su2/work/su2-1.3/Makefile).
4) You don't compress the man page.
post-install:
.if !defined{NOMANCOMPRESS}
gzip -9nf ${PREFIX}/man/man1/su2.1
.endif
> Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD (unix)
Agreed! :-)
