If you're trying to force the install of php5 by installing=20
php5-extensions, that's not going to work. Php5 will be built with the=20
default ${LOCALBASE} instead.
There are several ways to work around the problem. You can build php5=20
first, with the altered PREFIX, then build php5-extensions with the=20
altered PREFIX. You can set the PREFIX for php5 and php5-extensions in=20
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf (see the extensive notes in the file or read=20
man (5) pkgtools.conf).
You can edit the Makefiles for the affected ports, but changing PREFIX in=20
a Makefile is tricky, so testing carefully is required. Furthermore, the=20
Makefiles will be overwritten every time the port is updated, so it's=20
really not the best way to do things.
You can even edit /etc/make.conf, but that changes the parameters for all=20
ports.
If you plan on doing this often, pkgtools.conf is your best bet. If you=20
plan on doing it once, commandline is probably the easiest and quickest.
If you choose to use pkgtools.conf, you'd probably want something like=20
this:
MAKE_ARGS =3D {
'lang/php5*' =3D> 'PREFIX=3D/usr/local/php5',
}
Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
