I am nearing the end of my first ever port, Altera Quartus II design
software, to FreeBSD. Not so much of a "port" however, as it is just a
big archive of Linux binaries, libraries and scripts.
I have a question regarding one of these scripts. Every binary installed
by this program has an associated shell script wrapper that sets up
paths, and checks the environment. They currently fail when they can't
find SSE extensions because they are looking for /proc/cpuinfo. That's
fine I have amended the script, but by which mechanism do I include this
amended script in the port?
It is not really a patch, because it is applied *after* the install. At
the moment I am just doing:
post-install:
@${PATCH} $(PREFIX)/altera/quartus/adm/qenv.sh ${PATCHDIR}/qenv.patch
Is this the correct way to do it? Is it customary to have random files
lying around in files/ that are not source code patches?
Thanks,
Benjamin
