The following worked for my port flawlessly, but it's a prototype only, and the complete version should cover all bsd.own.mk defines: --- bsd.port.mk~ Wed Nov 28 07:00:36 2001 +++ bsd.port.mk Fri Dec 21 12:58:53 2001 @@ -1158,6 +1158,10 @@ MAKE_ENV+= ${INSTALL_MACROS} SCRIPTS_ENV+= ${INSTALL_MACROS} +.if defined(USE_BSD_MAKE) +MAKE_ENV+= BINDIR=${PREFIX}/bin MANDIR=${PREFIX}/man/man +.endif + # The user can override the NO_PACKAGE by specifying this from # the make command line .if defined(FORCE_PACKAGE) This should work for both /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 prefixes. I don't pretend that this solution is ideal, as a port may need different BINDIR settings for its different parts. I have given a little thinking to this, just to demonstrate that the "fixes" should go into ports/Mk, not into the base .mk files.
