#15778 closed defect (fixed)

macfuse portfile assumes MacPorts is installed in /opt/local

Reported by: eris.discord@… Owned by: kballard (Lily Ballard)

Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: macfuse Cc: mike@…, gkelly@…, ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Description

Just as the title says, the macfuse port assumes that MacPorts is installed in the default location, /opt/local. I have an unusual setup with MacPorts installed in /Software/MacPorts and other unix-like software packages installed in /Software/*.prefix so I can easily remove them without having to hunt for files. Unfortunately this means MacFUSE goes in the wrong folder and doesn't end up in my path. :)

I would try to fix this myself and submit a patch, but I'm not really sure about the proper use of for instance install_name_tool. I'm kind of afraid to break things with it...

macfuse.2.patch doesn't work if prefix is "/usr/local". After the build, it is untarred, and then there's a line in the destroot that deletes usr/local, so the subsequent commands fail to operate on the files that were just removed!

It is not supported for ${prefix} to be /usr/local. Use some other prefix for MacPorts.

I filed #18602 to prevent installation of MacPorts with the prefix /usr/local.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Since the maintainer hasn't responded to this issue, I committed the patch in r47182, with a slight modification to delete ${destpath}${prefix} before untarring the built software. This should allow it to work if ${prefix} is /usr/local. However, having prefix set to /usr/local is still unsupported and other ports will probably also be broken under such a setup. Don't expect MacPorts to continue to allow using prefix /usr/local.
