 Hello all I am attempting to update the tovid port to version 0.33 which
 has some python dependencies, etc. I have a few issues with how it's
 building and this is my first stab at writing a Portfile. If add this line
 I can get tovid to actually install and run properly:

 +destroot.destdir    --prefix=${prefix} --root=${destroot}

 However it installs all the python modules to /opt/local/lib/python2.6
 /site-packages which is not in sys.path so running 'tovid gui' fails to
 find libtovid.guid module.

 If I remove this line it will install everything in the long "framework"
 path but then the 'tovid' binary fails to find the shell scripts and it
 names it to tovid-2.6 which is silly. I believe the binary is expecting
 the bash script to be located in ${prefix}/lib or what not. So in essence
 I am looking for the proper way to use the python port group and get this
 running. Any guidance would be appreciated.

 I've also patched the source to use the 'g' prefix utils in coreutils
 which I have attached. Finally, as soon as I get the build things worked
 out the last item would be to replace the Linux specific bash code that
 gleams info out of /proc/cpuinfo with proper sysctl calls that is portable
 across the supported OS X versions. I may be getting some help on those
 patches but I am pretty confident that I can fix that portion of the code
 myself if needed.

 Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am going to keep plugging
 away.

 Thank you,

 Dan (a.k.a., chillywilly on #macports)
