## 9.4. `PREFIX` 以及 `DESTDIR`

`PREFIX` 變數會決定該 port 所會安裝的位置， 通常是 `/usr/local` 或 `/opt` 。 使用者可以藉由設定 `PREFIX` 決定要裝在哪邊， 而你所維護的 port 必須遵循該規則。

若使用者有設定 `DESTDIR` 變數， 那麼它會採用所設定的環境，通常可能是 jail 環境或者是並非掛載於 `/` 上的系統。 通常 port 會裝在 `DESTDIR`/`PREFIX` 底下， 並且會紀錄在 `DESTDIR`/var/db/pkg 內的套件資料庫。 由於事實上 `DESTDIR` 會由 ports 架構透過 chroot(8) 來自動處理，所以您不需去作相關修改或刻意維護 `DESTDIR` 相容的 ports。

`PREFIX` 變數若無特別設定，會與 `LOCALBASE` 相同 (預設為 `/usr/local`)。 若有設定 `USE_LINUX_PREFIX`， 那麼 `PREFIX` 則為 `LINUXBASE` ( 預設為 `/compat/linux`)。

Avoiding the hard-coding of `/usr/local` or `/usr/X11R6` anywhere in the source will make the port much more flexible and able to cater to the needs of other sites. For X ports that use `imake`, this is automatic; otherwise, this can often be done by simply replacing the occurrences of `/usr/local` (or `/usr/X11R6` for X ports that do not use imake) in the various `Makefile`s in the port to read `${PREFIX}`, as this variable is automatically passed down to every stage of the build and install processes.

Make sure your application is not installing things in `/usr/local` instead of `PREFIX`. A quick test for this is to do this is:

`#` `make clean; make package PREFIX=/var/tmp/`port-name``

If anything is installed outside of `PREFIX`, the package creation process will complain that it cannot find the files.

This does not test for the existence of internal references, or correct use of `LOCALBASE` for references to files from other ports. Testing the installation in `/var/tmp/`port-name`` to do that while you have it installed would do that.

The variable `PREFIX` can be reassigned in your `Makefile` or in the user's environment. However, it is strongly discouraged for individual ports to set this variable explicitly in the `Makefile`s.

Also, refer to programs/files from other ports with the variables mentioned above, not explicit pathnames. For instance, if your port requires a macro `PAGER` to be the full pathname of `less`, use the compiler flag:

-DPAGER=\"${LOCALBASE}/bin/less\"

instead of `-DPAGER=\"/usr/local/bin/less\"`. This way it will have a better chance of working if the system administrator has moved the whole `/usr/local` tree somewhere else.
