Hello.
Sometime back, I posted a message mentioning that I planned on
installing OpenOffice once it reached 2.0 status on my FreeBSD
machine using a nonstandard wrkdirprefix path (original email is
shown via the below link).

www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20050918.freebsd-questions
One reply was that I can use
env WRKDIRPREFIX=/myotherlocation make install
This is fine for installing it, but I was wondering was there a good
way of modifying WRKDIRPREFIX to always point to this location only
for OpenOffice.org, that way I can use portupgrade in the future and
not have to worry about it? I am assuming the best way of dealing
with this is with the file /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. assume that
I could put it inside of the MAKE_ARGS section. What is the most
optimal way of modifying this file for what I have mentioned above? I
have read the pkgtools.conf and ports manpages (and am still slightly
confused) and am running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.
If the only way to do this is by modifying the variable on the whole
so everything is built elsewhere, I suppose that is alright as well.
If this is the only way, what is the preferred way of handling this?
Thank you all for your assistance.
-Anthony
