If your port needs to execute commands when the binary package
is installed with pkg_add(1) you can do this via the
pkg-install
script. This script will
automatically be added to the package, and will be run twice by
pkg_add(1): the first time as
${SH} pkg-install ${PKGNAME}
PRE-INSTALL
and the second time as
${SH} pkg-install ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL
.
$2
can be tested to determine which mode
the script is being run in. The PKG_PREFIX
environmental variable will be set to the package installation
directory. See pkg_add(1) for
additional information.
This script is not run automatically if you install the port
with make install
. If you are depending on it
being run, you will have to explicitly call it from your port's
Makefile
, with a line like
PKG_PREFIX=${PREFIX} ${SH} ${PKGINSTALL}
${PKGNAME} PRE-INSTALL
.
