: # mkz is dual-licensed MIT OR Apache-2.0. : PERMIT_PACKAGE = Yes ports Makefiles aren't meant to be chatty; just use # MIT OR Apache-2.0 PERMIT_PACKAGE = Yes : # Links libc and libzstd only (SHA-256 and base-95 are vendored). I'd drop that too : WANTLIB = c zstd : : SITES = https://github.com/gitspoked/mkz/releases/download/v${V}/ : : # The release tarball extracts to mkz-c/ (the pure-C tree), not ${DISTNAME}/. : WRKSRC = ${WRKDIR}/mkz-c should be WRKDIST not WRKSRC also needs FIX_EXTRACT_PERMISSIONS = Yes due to restrictive file modes in the tar : LIB_DEPENDS = archivers/zstd : : # Plain handful of C files - no configure, and no GNU make needed : # for the port build. it's simpler for upgrades if you use the standard project's build/test/ install infrastructure, which isn't hard to do, and needs no additional deps. PLIST should be generated with "make plist" (which adds annotations to binaries, amongst other things). not a big fan of the asciified em-dashes in DESCR. suggested alternative tgz attached.
