I saw this round about the first time I brought up the subject:
(Yes, it is obvious, I found it quick-quick)
-----------(extracts from /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk)----------
X11BASE?= /usr/X11R6
.if defined(USE_IMAKE)
PREFIX?= ${X11BASE}
.else
PREFIX?= /usr/local
.endif
-----------(extracts from /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk)----------
The point I am tring to make is THAT IT DOES NOT WORK! Like I said above,
TRY IT!
PLEASE look at my "PREFIX= ..." statement above...
I have commented out everything in sight to do with both X11BASE and PREFIX,
I have hard-coded, grepped and find(1)-ed what I could. So far nothing
works.
This is mainly due to a complete lack of experience in imake/xmkmf and
Imakefiles (which give me brainache). The closest I have gotten to anything
working is a macro (?) called ProjectBase in imake.rules or site.def (or
somewhere that tries to move everything to wherevery you specify, and
consequently breaks the make.
