I was updating my port until I got to make: don't know how to make install. Stop *** [do-install] Error code 2 and I realised that I don't really understand the sequence of commands involved in "make install". I've looked through the porter's handbook, but still not clear. I see lots of post-install targets in Makefiles, but never just "install". I presume it should be pulled into by .include <bsd.port.mk> Still, if I have a set of source files, generated object files, and just one executable I want to install, I probably have to specify somewhere in the Makefile the name of this executable, right? Or are PLIST_FILES and PLIST_DIRS used to let make know what to install? Thanks Anton
