FreeBSD pc.local 7.0-BETA1 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1 #6: Fri Oct 26 14:28:24 CEST 2007     root@pc.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
I'm trying to install some ports into a chroot environment. For this, I 
use the DESTDIR support in ports. Some ports with dependencies are 
failing to install.

Here's postgresql82-client as an example:

# chroot /path/to/chroot
# pkg_info
[...]
gmake-3.81_2        GNU version of 'make' utility
portupgrade-2.3.1,2 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and management 
[...]
# ls /usr/local/bin/gmake
/usr/local/bin/gmake
# exit
# cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-client
# make install clean DESTDIR=/path/to/chroot
[...]
===>   postgresql-client-8.2.5_1 depends on executable: gmake - not found
[...]
===>  Installing for gmake-3.81_2
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if devel/gmake already installed
===>   gmake-3.81_2 is already installed
       You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
       by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
       If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/gmake
       without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
       in your environment or the "make install" command line.
#

Some additional data:
1) This works when installing the port directly on the host (7.0-BETA1 #6, i386). That is, gmake is found and left alone, and postgresql installs.
2) The chroot is 8.0-CURRENT
3) I've had a look at bsd.destdir.mk. From what I can read, after mount_nullfs-mounting /usr/ports to the chroot, it basically issues this command:
4) "make install DESTDIR" works for simple ports without dependencies.

# chroot /path/to/chroot sh -c "cd 
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-client; make install clean; "

If I issue this command from the command-line, gmake is found and the 
port is installed:
[...]
===>   postgresql-client-8.2.5_1 depends on executable: gmake - found
[...]

So it seems something in the bsd.destdir.mk is not working. Maybe a sub-shell missing the PATH variable? There may be a link to ports/117453
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake
# make install clean DESTDIR=/path/to/chroot
# cd /usr/ports/database/postgresql82-client
# make install clean DESTDIR=/path/to/chroot

>Fix:
A workaround:

# nullfs_mount /usr/ports /path/to/chroot/usr/ports
# chroot /path/to/chroot sh -c "cd 
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-client; make install clean; "
