I printed out the section on making new ports from the handbook, and it
really answered all of my port-specific questions. However, there's one
more item I'm not sure how to deal with. I'm doing a JED port, which is a
customizable editor, though not quite as large as EMACS. I'm planning on
installing the doc files and info files, but I'm hitting a minor snag,
which I suspect is because JED has an info mode. Here's a list of the
info files included with JED.
total 104
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1019 Jan 30 06:50 dir.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 27279 Jan 30 06:50 info.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24226 Jan 30 06:50 jed.1in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24860 Jan 30 06:50 jed.2in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 20588 Jan 30 06:50 jed.3in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1574 Jan 30 06:50 jed.info
The last 4 should probably just be copied to ${PREFIX}/info, but the first
two aren't related to JED, but to JED's info mode. They won't overwrite
anything on *MY* system, but do I take that chance in a port? can I check
for file existance in the makefile? Or rather, how do I, I'm pretty sure
I can but I don't know make that well.
