Comment (by bruce.miller@…):
Ah, so the various scripts are TCL, so maybe the following is best:
{{{
post-activate { catch { exec "mktexlsr" } }
}}}
After "fixing" that, I discovered that even with a proper Portfile, I
still end up with the problem that the executables are installed in
{{{/opt/local/libexec/perl5.16/sitebin/}}}, which is not in the typical
user's path.
Nor does that path get added automatically, as does {{{/opt/local/bin}}}.
And frankly, it seems perverse to print a message to the user "Please add
/opt/local/libexc/perl6.16/sitebin/ to your $PATH".
From previous discussions here and on the mailing list, I gathered that
the "recommended" solution is to add symlinks from {{{/opt/local/bin}}} to
the actual installation.
I've made those changes to the Portfile; Please, portfile experts take a
look. If it's acceptable, please, @sean, could you commit the change?
Thanks
