avoiding "install" for dependencies with PORTS_MODULES
Date: Tue, 03 May 2022 16:23:26 UTC
An unfortunate property of building ports locally (as opposed to via poudriere) is that dependencies are often installed to the host file system during the build even when I am not doing "make install" to the target port. I normally sidestep this issue by using poudriere. However, I am trying to use PORTS_MODULES in conjunction with my kernel upgrade process to generate ports-based kernel modules matching the new kernel, to avoid the "disable kmods/reboot/build ports/reenable kmods" dance. It seems "make buildkernel" uses tool binaries from a prior "make buildworld". Is it possible to, in a like manner, cause the ports built via PORTS_MODULES to install and use their dependencies in this same "world" staging tree (or in some alternate place) instead of directly in the host's file system? -- G.
