Currently ikiwiki uses cp(1) with GNU extensions in Makefile.PL for installing files, thus causing problems on FreeBSD which doesn't have a cp(1) with GNU extensions in the base system. Here is a patch against ikiwiki-1.51 for using find(1) and install(1) instead of cp(1). --- Makefile.PL.orig Sun Apr 29 12:57:51 2007 +++ Makefile.PL Sun Apr 29 13:08:38 2007 @@ -47,8 +47,12 @@ extra_clean: extra_install: install -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/ikiwiki - find basewiki templates \( -type f -or -type l \) ! -regex '.*\.svn.*' \ - -exec cp --parents -aL {} $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/ikiwiki \; + for dir in `find -L basewiki templates -type d ! -regex '.*\.svn.*'`; do \ + install -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/ikiwiki/$$dir; \ + for file in `find -L $$dir -maxdepth 1 -type f`; do \ + install -m 644 $$file $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/ikiwiki/$$dir; \ + done; \ + done install -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1 install -m 644 ikiwiki.man $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/man/man1/ikiwiki.1 > Couldn't it just use install -D ? --[[Joey]] >> No, apparently FreeBSD `install` does not support `-D`.
