Nevermind. I misunderstood what ${INSTALL_SCRIPT} actually does. On Sat, 2010-01-30 at 20:12 +0100, david fries wrote:
Hello everybody
I'm learning how to port Haskell packages to FreeBSD. I've been reading the porters handbook and I've also looked at various existing Haskell ports in the ports tree. Their Makefiles generally have a very similar structure - which is a very good sign in my opinion. Part of that are also the targets. However, there is one thing I do not quite understand.
The do-install target usually looks like this:
do-install: cd ${WRKSRC} && ${SETUP_CMD} install \ && ${INSTALL_SCRIPT} register.sh ${PREFIX}/${SOME_LIBDIR_REL}/register.sh
My question is. Why do you run the register script here? The Cabal documentation (http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/users-guide/builders.h...) says that this registration is implicitly done during ./setup install. It seems to me that executing the register script is superfluous. Or am I missing something?
