I find out that MythTV doesn't support DESTDIR. Is there a
standard approach to handling this problem? (Myth's configure
is >5,000 lines; I'm concerned about trying to path it.)
The MacPorts defailt is:
destroot.destdir DESTDIR=${destroot}
The standard is for build systems to support DESTDIR; if it
doesn't, all bets are off.
Most build systems still support a way to specify where to install
things, for example using a PREFIX or prefix variable. If so, you
can tell MacPorts something like:
destroot.destdir PREFIX=${destroot}${prefix}
If the build system's install target is too confused to do even
that properly, then you can throw it away and write your own
destroot block and do everything yourself, as Jeremy said. But I
would consider that a last resort.
You might also look at other distros that package MythTV; maybe one of
them fixed this.
It seems that INSTALL_ROOT= works but that's a good point. Do you
know of another port system that use destroot or similar? I just
looked and it seems FreeBSD does not.
