I am looking for the correct/propper way to customize a port (ie. change prefix path, etc.). Right now i have been doing something like this: ==== 1) extracting the "ports/group/prog/" directory from the entire ports tar file into /usr/ 2) downloading the port source to /usr/ports/distfiles/ 3) cd /usr/ports/group/prog/ 4) setenv NO_DEPENDS; make distfile; make patch 5) view Makefile and make note of any special configure arguments. 6) cd work/program-ver/; run ./configure replacing how/where I need the program to be compiled and I have been leaving in any special configure args that were set in the previous Makefile. 7) Then running make or gmake (mostly gmake). 8) cd ../../ (back to /usr/ports/group/prog/); make install * I'm not sure that the last step is correct, will this break anything? What i really am interested in is using the preferred compile arguments and overriding items such as install location and extra modules (Apache and PHP4 mostly).
