Dear Ryan,
So it resides under the subdirectory /opt/local/var/macports/build/ and the
branch under that tree varies with the port file being worked. In the case of
zlib it is:
ll `port work zlib`
total 56
drwxr-xr-x 6 macports admin 204 Dec 4 12:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 macports admin 102 Dec 4 12:41 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 macports admin 22800 Dec 4 12:41 .CC_PRINT_OPTIONS
-rw-r--r-- 1 macports admin 235 Dec 4 12:41 .macports.zlib.state
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Dec 4 12:41 destroot/
drwxr-xr-x 98 macports admin 3332 Dec 4 12:41 zlib-1.2.5/
Thank you. My settings are for no cleaning so all the sources remain in their
${worksrcpath} for the time being.
Shalom,
John B. Brown.

I'll be less obscure, so the question will be direct. What does
${portbuildpath} define as? That was the reference I gave which has NO
definition whatsoever on the referred page. Better would be a full definition
for ${workpath}. Do these things exist under `build' or `source' or `distfiles'
or where? I'm not talking some esoteric locations here.
This was my original question.
` The reference was enlightening, but what does ${worksrcpath} mean? It is
part of the definitions for configure, build, and destroot. Ultimately it's
defined in terms of ${portbuildpath} which has only one use on that page in the
definition of workpath. ???'
Run:
sudo port extract zlib
port work zlib
The path it prints out is zlib's ${workpath}. I'm not going to say here
verbatim what it is because it varies depending on your ${prefix} and where
your ports tree is on your disk.
And ${worksrcpath} is just ${workpath}/${worksrcdir}.
