I figured that it would be easiest to define a post-install phase. Then the already existing script from wxWidgets can be called without modifications. That cannot be done in the post-build phase. In this phase I would have to patch the script or handcraft the call of install_name_tool like in oracle-instantclient which imo would only clutter the Portfile if there is a oneliner at hand. Is there a variable that defines the installation directory for the port? I.e. the path ${prefix}/var/macports/software/.../${prefix}? Or maybe only the ... component? Or at least a variable holding all variants? And why would the post-activate phase not be the correct place to call change_install_name? Is a port ever used before activation?
