Alan, thanks again for a quick answer!
Here I go again with my ... improvements?

That's what I thought.

Nope.
| 3. worst case you patch the Makefile.am or Makefile.in in the docsdir.
Now I am with that. Replaced all occurrences of $(prefix)/doc in
Makefile.am with $(prefix)/share/doc.
However, now the make procedure fails:
===> Building for kaptain-0.6
gmake all-recursive
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6'
Making all in doc
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6/doc'
cd .. && automake --gnu --include-deps doc/Makefile
cd .. && perl am_edit kaptain-0.6/doc/Makefile.in
Can't open perl script "am_edit": No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6/doc'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6'
gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
*** Error code 2
The strange thing to me is that the Makefile.in is now changed. That
is to say: I patched Makefile.am but both Makefile.am and Makefile.in
are different than what they are if I don't apply the patches/changes.
Although I now have an idea about how I got into this, I am not seeing
clearly how to solve it.
I took a diff from a Makefile.in of the unpatched sources and a
Makefile.in from the patched sources, and got the following:
--- prepatch/Makefile.in Wed Jan 16 19:57:53 2002
+++ postpatch/Makefile.in Wed Jan 16 19:53:43 2002

and lots of differences, including the offending line:
...

.SUFFIXES:

-#>+ 2
cd $(top_srcdir) && $(AUTOMAKE) --gnu --include-deps doc/Makefile
- cd $(top_srcdir) && perl am_edit kaptain-0.6/doc/Makefile.in
...
This happens both using the ports Makefile and trying to build kaptain
on its own (configure + make, without freebsd ports overhead).
So clearly, the problem is that now that I patched the Makefile.am
file, another automake is called somehow (???).
Maybe the problem is restricted to my own setup? I've found both
/usr/local/bin/automake and /usr/local/bin/automake14. However when
running them with --version both print the same exact message:
[root@pi] /usr/local/bin/automake14 --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5
Copyright (C) 1999, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...
So I don't know where to look for the 'other' automake, the one with
v1.4 but that lacks the (c) 2001.
Any help or insight is appreciated.

| Does your .if start in the first column? Sure there's no error on the

Right, my .if was not in the very beginning of the line. Now it works.
But now how do I stop the doc/Makefiles from working?

It will take time, but I will get out a perfect port (:|)
Thanks again for all your help!
