#45133: scons @2.3.3: Port tries to install outside of prefix -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: djvasi@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by djvasi@…): It looks like the problem relates to this part of setup.py: {{{ def force_to_usr_local(self): """ A hack to decide if we need to "force" the installation directories to be under /usr/local. This is because Mac Os X Tiger and Leopard, by default, put the libraries and scripts in their own directories under /Library or /System/Library. """ return (sys.platform[:6] == 'darwin' and (self.install_dir[:9] == '/Library/' or self.install_dir[:16] == '/System/Library/')) }}} It assumes that since my prefix is in /Library, it must be a problem. But there's no particular reason I shouldn't be able to put my MacPorts prefix there! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45133#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
