Thanks Simon for your help.
Now I have a better Makefile, but still some problems:
My makefile now looks like this:
post-install:
.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
${MKDIR} ${DATADIR}
${MKDIR} ${EXAMPLESDIR}
${MKDIR} ${DOCSDIR}
.for doc in AUTHORS BUGS Changes DEPRECATED FAQ INSTALL LICENSE PLATFORMS README
${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/${doc} ${DOCSDIR}
.endfor
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/examples ${EXAMPLESDIR}
${INSTALL_SCRIPT} ${WRKSRC}/scripts ${DATADIR}
${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/models ${DATADIR}
.endif
However, 'examples', 'scripts' and 'models' are all
directories. Except for 'models' which just contains files,
both 'examples' and 'scripts' contain also subdirectories and
files. It seems that $INSTALL does not work recursively on
directories. I've looked at install(1) and the only mention
of directories is for the -d option, which to me appears as
a replacemente of mkdir.
So, to summarize I can do something like:
1. ${CP} -R ${WRKSRC}/examples ${EXAMPLESDIR}
I've tried it and it works fine, except that I don't know
what I'm missing from not using $INSTALL_* (seems that it sets
owner, modes, and privileges differently for data, scripts,
docs). This way I'm just keeping those that were set by the
maker of the tarball.
or
2. perhaps there is another invocation of $INSTALL that I'm
missing?
Please comment if you see other options.
Thanks again,
Fernan

|
| yes. see /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:
| # INSTALL_PROGRAM - A command to install binary executables.
| # INSTALL_SCRIPT - A command to install executable scripts.
| # INSTALL_DATA - A command to install sharable data.
| # INSTALL_MAN - A command to install manpages (doesn't compress).
|
| using these and ${MKDIR} should work fine (and set permissions
| correctly).
|
| please don't access work/package-name; instead go with ${WRKSRC}

|
| # DOCSDIR - Name of the directory to install the packages docs in
| # EXAMPLESDIR - Name of the directory to install the packages examples in
| # DATADIR - Name of the directory to install the packages shared data
|
| these directories have to be ${MKDIR}'ed
|
| so: your models and scripts go to ${DATADIR}, docs go to ${DOCSDIR} and
| examples go to ${EXAMPLESDIR}
