Hi,

I think there is a need for a .mk file that defines an
environment for building into /usr/local.  Perhaps something
like this:


bsd.local.mk:

	#
	# The include file <bsd.local.mk> set common variables for
	# using the BSD makerules in the /usr/local/ hierarchy.
	#

	BINDIR?=	/usr/local/bin
	LIBDIR?=	/usr/local/lib
	LINTLIBDIR?=	/usr/local/libdata/lint
	OBJDIR?=	/usr/local/obj
	SHLIBDIR?=	${LIBDIR}
	SHAREDIR?=	/usr/local/share
	MANDIR?=	/usr/local/man/man


Then in my Makefiles I can do stuff like this:


	SCRIPTS= mail_alias.perl
	MAN8=	 mail_alias.8 

	beforeinstall:
	.for script in ${SCRIPTS}
		${INSTALL} -c -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m ${BINMODE} \
			${.CURDIR}/${script} ${DESTDIR}${BINDIR}/${script:R}
	.endfor

	.include <bsd.local.mk>
	.include <bsd.prog.mk>


Is this a good idea?  If so, who is the person in charge of
the .mk files?


Best regards,

Gary Howland
