This is both true, in that the `package` target implies the `stage`
target with does run `make install` in $WRKSRC, and highly misleading,
because the `stage` target does not install the port to your machine,
which would require superuser privileges, but to a staging directory,
which does not. The `install` target, which implies the `package`
target, uses `pkg add` to install the package to your machine.
Thank you! This is the missing piece I didn't understand. It's starting
to come together for me.
So now I think it's a problem with the port's Makefile `install` target.
The install target does this:
install -m 755 snac $(PREFIX)/bin/snac
So I think what I need to do is patch the Makefile to include DESTDIR
like so:
install -m 755 snac $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin/snac
Those should be curly braces, not parentheses, fe;
${DESTDIR}
Does that sound right?
