Hi all! After solving my configure/build problems I am now tweaking the port's Makefile to install the documentation properly, and also trying to generate the pkg-plist file. (kaptain port, see recent thread) In short I'm following the examples at the porter's handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-autoplist.html but it seems that the following make target does not exist: # make depends PREFIX=/var/tmp/kaptain I've read through bsd.port.mk and it's not listed as a valid target. Doing a make depends just list the dependencies found, but does not produce any other output. Also /var/tmp/kaptain keeps unchanged. Doing a make, or make install using the mentioned PREFIX produces an error: "no KDE2 includes are at PREFIX ..." Is this a documentation bug? Anyway. Skipping the automatic generation of plist ... everything works cleanly, and I'm creating the pkg-plist file manually. Regarding the documentation: there are no man pages in my port, but a doc/ directory under WRKSRC with a Makefile, some subdeirectories, each with their own Makefile ... everything is html, txt, images ... Question: Do I let the Makefiles do their job and put everything under usr/local/doc)? AFAICS kaptain is the only subdir there and most ports install documentation under /usr/local/share/doc How do I change this behaviour? I've seen no configure args that could be pass to change this (but maybe I'm just missing them) ... According to the porter's handbook, I could do something like: post-install: .if !defined(NOPORTDOCS) ${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/share/doc/${PORTNAME} ${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/docs/* ${PREFIX}/share/doc/${PORTNAME} .endif (which is similar but not identical to the example in the handbook) This is choking on me: error: unexpected "(" in .if !defined(NOPORTDOCS) Anyway, everything is working and I am just trying to get everything as good as I can. This is my first port! Fernan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
