shapelib gives error: invalid command name "cd"

When tying to install shapelib, install fails with "invalid command name "cd" " error

Sorry, I thought the description would show more of what I entered. Here is the actual line that failed.

DEBUG: Executing proc-post-org.macports.build-build-0 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: invalid command name "cd"

cports.install following items did not execute (for shapelib): org.macports.activate org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.ma

Attached patch should fix this (and switches the system install to use xinstall, and removes a redundant second install of shapefil.h).

diff to Portfile

[george@…]

I applied the diff file locally, and it worked, shapelib compiled fine. However, when I delete my local portfile and do a selfupdate, I get the old nonworking portfile back. Is there another step I'm supposed to do? I'm new to this.

[blb@…]

Yes, a selfupdate is expected to revert changes in the normal repository on your install (you can setup a ​local repository if you do regular changes). The patch is just waiting maintainer approval or a timeout (3 days), then it should be committed to the repository.

Looks good to me.

Applied in r46168.
