I suspect that this is documented someplace. In the old days, one coudl install ports in an directory hierarchy other than /usr/local by setting DESTDIR. This is/was handy in testing a new port, or in particular, an upgrade of an abandoned port. % cd /usr/ports/math/octave42 % make % setenv DESTDIR /usr/local/octave42 % make install ===> Creating some important subdirectories ===> /tmp subdirectory has been successfully created ===> /dev subdirectory has been successfully created ===> Starting chrooted make in /usr/local/octave42... chroot: /bin/sh: No such file or directory ===> Chrooted make in /usr/local/octave42 failed ===> Cleaning up... *** Error code 1 What? -- Steve
