You should not override build.cmd just to add args (like PREFIX=${prefix}). Instead, leave build.cmd alone and set build.args PREFIX=${prefix} (if you need to set those args). But instead you may want to user the makefile 1.0 portgroup which looks like it sets that for you.

According to the Makefile

https://github.com/ahknight/hfsinspect/blob/master/Makefile

it should only be printing "Installing hfsinspect in ..." if you ran "make install", which should only be happening in the destroot phase, not the build phase.

The Makefile doesn't seem to support DESTDIR, so you'll need to address that as well, for example using "makefile.has_destdir no" after you've included the makefile 1.0 portgroup.
