Thank you! This is the missing piece I didn't understand. It's starting
to come together for me.
So now I think it's a problem with the port's Makefile `install` target.
The install target does this:
install -m 755 snac $(PREFIX)/bin/snac
So I think what I need to do is patch the Makefile to include DESTDIR
like so:
install -m 755 snac $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin/snac
Does that sound right?
