Hi,
I am new to building ports, however I have started to get the hang of
things.
I am not building any ports that I intend on submitting to FreeBSD, yet,
however maybe that isn't too far off :)
I've used a guide I found to create a local ports repository that is working
out wonderfully with the existing ports tree under /usr/ports
My tree is under /usr/ports/local, and I found a way to integrate a local
UIDs and GIDs file, by setting this variable in my Makefile:
UID_FILES:=${PORTSDIR}/local/UIDs
When I go to install my port it installs the user as expected, however it
fails on the ${INSTALL_PROGRAM} function. I understand this is just using
"install" with the appropriate flags. Obviously, the port doesn't install.
If I run it again, the user is already on the system, and the port installs
successfully.
I was wondering if there is a way to have the port install the user using
the native USERS or GROUPS directives in the do-install phase with the
INSTALL macros, or if there is a more suggested, or conventional, way of
doing this operation.
Would you mind putting the files somewhere and showing us the error
log? I am aware of one caveat at the moment, which is that you can't
use users/groups created with USERS/GROUPS in pkg-plist. Every typical
use case with directives contained in Makefile should be fine AFAIK.

I've uploaded to pastebin, and hope this is enough to go on. Please let me
know if it is not, and I will make the information needed available.
