Lets say I've installed several Perl p5 ports into the directory
/usr/local/perl-modules/.... by modifying the PREFIX variable just prior to
their configuration/installation. Apps that need them work fine because I
have the PERL5LIB variable setup to update @INC appropriately.
Now, let's say I want upgrade a port (say webmin in this case). I don't
want PREFIX predefined before I try to upgrade webmin. I want webmin going
to its normal installation area of /usr/local/...
Unfortunately, without PREFIX defined the webmin port looks in
/usr/local/lib/perl5 for the Perl modules its dependant on - and not in
/usr/local/perl-modules/... where the modules are actually installed. I
know this has to do with these lines in the Makefile:
RUN_DEPENDS=
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl5/site_perl/${PERL_VER}/${PERL_ARCH}/Net/SSLeay.pm:${PORTSDIR}/security/p5-Net-SSLeay
\
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl5/site_perl/${PERL_VER}/${PERL_ARCH}/Authen/PAM.pm:${PORTSDIR}/security/p5-Authen-PAM
So my question - is there anyway to have webmin still get installed in
/usr/local/..... and the make process look for the Perl modules in
/usr/local/perl-modules ??
I'm pretty sure /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk is where $LOCALBASE is being
defined but I don't know if there is anything I can do without manually
editing the Makefile file.
Any thoughts ?
