The error that you gave earlier says that there's no Makefile in ${WRKSRC}. The
default do-install essentially runs "make -C ${WRKSRC} install", so without a
Makefile, it produces an error.
Writing cmake files seems pretty overkill. Your port appears to build just one
file. So just make your own do-install: target and install the files yourself.
There are 5,995 examples of this in the ports tree, and the Porter's Handbook
has an entire section on installing files.
