In this section we begin by taking a look at a complete simple Portfile; then we see how to augment default phases by defining pre- and post- phases, how to override default phases, and finally how to eliminate port phases.

To augment a port's installation phase, and not override it, you may use pre- and post- installation phases as shown in this example.
post-destroot { # Install example files not installed by the Makefile file mkdir ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name}/examples file copy ${worksrcpath}/examples/ \ ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name}/examples }
To override the automatic MacPorts installation phase processing, define your own installation phases as shown in this example.
destroot { xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name} xinstall -m 755 ${worksrcpath}/README ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name} }
To eliminate a default phase, simply define a phase with no contents as shown.
build {}
Because many software packages do not use
configure
, a keyword is provided to eliminate the
configure
phase. Another exception is the
destroot
phase may not be eliminated. See the
chapter Portfile Reference for full
information.
