The patches are always applied relative to WRKSRC, which is by default WRKDIR/DISTNAME. You can, of course, play with this, like I did myself with lang/moscow_ml, if you'd like to see an example. In that case, the Makefile that needed to get executed wasn't in the main subdirectory, but instead hidden in a "src" subdirectory. The build target cd's to the WRKSRC directory to execute the 'make ALL_TARGET', so I changed the WRKSRC to add the /src component, and that meant that my patches had to be relative to the src subdirectory, instead of the normal "mosml" directory that the tar file unpacked into. Ask again if this isn't clear, and take a look at the example I gave. > > Ian > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
