Hello,
I followed the guide in the porters handbook and have created a
working port. However, when I attempted to autogenerate the
pack{ing|age} list I was unable to coax the system into installing my
dependencies into the temporary directory.
It appeared as though this was due to some pseudo-semantic changes in
the use of the variables PREFIX and LOCALBASE which may differ from
the documentation. One apparently problem was due to the fact I
require perl modules for installation, and of course there is no perl
directory in my temporary location.
I am thinking that it would be simpler to create a packing list by
hand since there are many dependencies, however I wished to notify you
of the possible discrepancy between the system behavior and the
documentation.
However, I am using freebsd 3.2 with the latest version of ports.
Hopefully this information is of some useto you, feel free to respond
if you need more information.
Thanks for everything,
--brett
