Should the game binary be installed in /opt/local/games instead of /opt/local/bin? I used the Nethack port as my reference and installed to /opt/local/bin.
No. There is no /opt/local/games, nor should there be. Binaries go in /opt/local/bin.
Understood. I got my idea from the manpage porthier(7), so it seems to need some clarification.
Ah. Indeed it does say that. First time I've seen that manpage. :-) I don't know if any portfile actually installs anything in /opt/local/ games. Seems to be like it would be a bad idea, since in order to use those items effectively, you'd have to add /opt/local/games to your PATH as well, and I've never seen that recommendation in any installation doc. Why make people add two paths to their PATH when adding just the one would be just fine if everything got installed in that one path?
