I'm trying to make a Makefile for a port and am having problems
installing the manpage.
The port is only a sh(1) script but the porters handbook (which I've
spent a good deal of time reading) seems to be all based around built
from source ports where there is a Makefile in ${WRKSRC}. Since I
don't have that everything needs to be in the top level Makefile.
Looking at other ports I've arrived at:
PORTNAME= foobar
PORTVERSION= 1.0
CATEGORIES= sysutils
MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.ukug.uk.freebsd.org/pub/mark/foobar/
MAINTAINER= mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org
MAN1= foobar.1
MANCOMPRESSED= yes
NO_BUILD= yes
do-install:
${INSTALL_SCRIPT} ${WRKSRC}/foobar ${PREFIX}/bin/foobar
${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/foobar.man ${PREFIX}/man/man1/${MAN1}
.include <bsd.port.mk>
The script itself installs OK and so does the manpage, except that I
can't work out how to compress it.
Unfortunately I can't find another port that only installs that also
has a manpage. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
BTW, please Cc: me as I'm not current;y subscribed to -ports.
