[ggt-devel] Building gmtl for MacPorts

[Doug M. <mc...@ia...>]

Hello,
     I am trying to update the gmtl build in MacPorts with the latest  
release but am running into problems with the build steps required  
for MacPorts. MacPorts uses this scheme as noted here:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/BuildPhases

When prefix is specified to install gmtl into destroot, that is the  
prefix that is ultimately stored in the fpc file for the gmtl  
installation prefix. It seems MacPorts expects another command line  
variable like stage_prefix or sandbox_prefix that allows the  
installation to be staged but the location not written to *config,  
pc, and fpc files. I see where other packages employ scripts and sed  
to overwrite these changes, which I can do, but it seems there may be  
a better solution or adding the above mentioned prefix and associated  
target. What are everyones thoughts on this subject? I know there was  
a similar discussion on the cppdom list about build methods and steps  
which I am still working on for cppdom. I hoping that a simpler  
solution can be arrived at here.

Doug
