Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign@…]:
 >  * cleaned up destroot: no need to create that directory beforehand, and
 no need to overwrite destroot.destdir; just add desired nonstandard args
 to destroot.args [[br]]
 >  * added code from [wiki:PortfileRecipes#doc PortfileRecipes] for
 installing documentation files; more documentation appears to be available
 in the doc/ directory; you may want to read doc/README.txt and see if you
 can improve the port to install those files as well

 Sorry, I see now what was going on here. The port already installs the
 docs into a weird directory, and by creating share/doc before the
 destroot, you were allowing aap's own build system to install a symlink
 into that directory pointing to the weird directory.

 However, the symlink points to the weird directory within the destroot, so
 that doesn't actually work after the port has been installed and the
 destroot has been deleted:

 {{{
 $ ls -ld /opt/local/share/doc/aap
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  118 Oct 14 19:30 /opt/local/share/doc/aap ->
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_aap/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/aap/Exec-1.091/doc
 }}}
