Sorry guys, but I think I need more help :). I tried with the following line:

( cd ${WRKSRC}/JDownloader && ${COPYTREE_SHARE} \*
${PREFIX}/${PORTNAME}/ "! -name \*.exe" )

but it doesn't seem to follow primaries and it still installs the .exe
files. I just tried with:

( cd ${WRKSRC}/JDownloader && ${COPYTREE_SHARE} \*
${PREFIX}/${PORTNAME}/ "! -name JDownloader.exe" )

and check that effectively the file is not installed so I suppose this
has something to do with quoting and escaping special characters (the
asterisk). I found the following line in audio/xmp/Makefile:

( cd ${WRKSRC}/docs && ${COPYTREE_SHARE} \* \
                ${DOCSDIR} '! ( -name Makefile -or -name xmp.1 \
                -or -name *.bak -or -name *.orig )' )

that seems pretty close to what I'm trying to do, so I tried with this:

( cd ${WRKSRC}/JDownloader && ${COPYTREE_SHARE} \*
${PREFIX}/${PORTNAME}/ '! ( -name *.exe )' )

but then, the asterisk is expanded and find fails:

find: JDownloader.exe: unknown primary or operator

what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
