environment: Fix INFOPATH for *BSD ports and pkgsrc (1.31 KB, patch)
2017-05-13 16:03 UTC, Ting-Wei Lan 		committed Details | Review

Description Ting-Wei Lan 2017-05-13 16:02:26 UTC 
FreeBSD ports install Texinfo documentation in /usr/local/info instead of the default value /usr/local/share/info used by autotools and meson. All software included in FreeBSD ports are modified to use /usr/local/info, and /usr/local/share/info doesn't exist on the system. However, JHBuild always uses $prefix/share/info, so the non-existent path is added to INFOPATH.

OpenBSD ports and NetBSD pkgsrc also patch all software to use $prefix/info, so the same problem can happen on OpenBSD and NetBSD, too. I will attach a patch to fix this problem.

environment: Fix INFOPATH for *BSD ports and pkgsrc

Ports and pkgsrc are widely used on *BSD systems to install third-party
software, but these systems patch all software to install Texinfo pages
in $prefix/info instead of $prefix/share/info. In order to set correct
INFOPATH on prefixes managed by ports or pkgsrc, we check whether
$prefix/info exists and use it if $prefix/share/info cannot be found.
