The main makefile for a new package I'm working with does not use a standard name, so the pkgsrc build process can't find it when it descends to the work directory. How do I tell the package Makefile where the source's makefile is? Thanks, Tim -- -- Tim Larson AMT2 Unix Systems Administrator InterCall, a division of West Corporation Eschew obfuscation!

See pkgsrc Guide (pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt): The default value of MAKE_PROGRAM is "gmake" if USE_TOOLS contains "gmake", "make" otherwise. The default value of MAKE_FILE is "Makefile", and BUILD_TARGET defaults to "all".

It would be _really_ helpful if the Guide had an appendix of all the makefile variables and what they did. I read through all the sections that seemed like they'd be relevant to this question, but didn't find this answer.

I doubt, that it is good addition to the Guide, it just overloads it with mostly useless information, in my opinion, but it sounds like a wrapper around "make help". -- -- CE3OH...

You should set it in the package Makefile to where the distfile is extracted. Cheers, antoine
