Hello friends!
Now I made new port. It's not hard: this is russian-english
dictionary, nothing to compile --- just extract some archive and
put some files into FreeBSD hier(7). (And patching something of
course.) But I have two trouble:
1) Program's author put some files into /usr/local hier, and some
other files (phonetic fonts) into /usr/X11R6 hier. I can't put
dictionaries into /usr/X11R6 because it's may be executed
whitout X11. And I don't know, can I put phonetic fonts into
/usr/local/lib/fonts directory, does it right?
There are not problem if I put the fonts into /usr/local, but
this may be wrong? Author writing about file-placing, that
they are corresponding FHS (File Hierarchy Standard).
And if I put fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts, there are other
trouble: I must use names in pkg-plist relative PREFIX, but
there are two PREFIX used: LOCALBASE for dictionarys and
scripts, and X11BASE for fonts...
2) I make my port sensitive to WITHOUT_X11 variable. If it's
set to "yes" I don't install some useless files (font's and
TK scripts). What should I write into pkg-plist? I read about
%%variable%% but I don't need to change some path in pkg-plist
dependently from variable, --- i need to remove some files
from this list if WITHOUT_X11 specified.
Thank you, and sorry my bad english.
