* From: Bill Fenner <fenner@research.att.com> * And any USE_IMAKE ports are going to configure themselves to install * in the same place as X installed, no matter what X11BASE/PREFIX is * set to. That's what I meant by this paragraph: > Also, I didn't attempt changing PREFIX (while leaving LOCALBASE and > X11BASE alone) since many software require them being in the same tree > with some of its dependencies (like elisp stuff).

(Note that the dependencies are built as packages during the same build process -- so if they are built with LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg, they will install there when they are required as dependencies.) I can do the same with XFree86 when it becomes buildable from ports. For a ports Makefile, PREFIX is used to specify where *this* port goes; LOCALBASE/X11BASE is for *other* ports (including this one if PREFIX is not explicitly set).
