#16879 closed defect (fixed)

x3270 version 3.3.4p8_0 installs files in /usr/x11/man/

Reported by: kpreid (Kevin Reid) Owned by: mark.church@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: mtree violations, x3270 Cc:
Port: x3270

Description

I did $ port install x3270, and it attempted to install one, but not all, of its man pages in /usr/x11/man. The install failed since I run MacPorts as a non-admin.

Excerpts of output:

bash-3.2$ port -d install x3270

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I asked the developer and it turns out there is a 'install.byprefix' makefile target that puts things in ${prefix} instead of the X11 directories. I also updated it to 3.3.8 release. Thanks for reporting it.
