[...] or the "make install" step might also create empty directories. You should add those with "@exec mkdir -p %D/share/foo" in the packing list. Note that these steps won't tell you if you have installed files not recorded in the packing list. Using PREFIX=/tmp/foo usually help, assuming it is prefix-clean. -- Florent Thoumie [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD Committer
