Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Re: earlier discussion of X11 ports ought to be in /usr/local/X11R6 and not /usr/X11R6. It's clear that for ports that use imake, it's a fundamental imake (or XFree86) problem and should be solved on that level. However, there're still many programs that use configure, custom makefiles, whatever and don't *have* to be installed in /usr/X11R6. If I want to place those in /usr/local/X11R6 cleanly, I'm stuck: currently PREFIX= USE_X11 ? /usr/X11R6 : /usr/local/, so to speak, and both locations are unsuitable. Certainly one can hack around, but shouldn't there be another option in bsd.port.mk? Something like USE_X11_LOCALLY? -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
