Description Chris Hutchinson 2014-02-03 22:30:00 UTC 
The build && install process completed w/o errors,
using the bare minimum to test the operation in:

/usr/local/etc/hiawatha/mimetype.conf

then followed by:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hiawatha start

results in:

Starting hiawatha.
Error creating work directory '/usr/local/var/lib/hiawatha'

I have made NO references to /usr/local/var/lib/hiawatha anywhere.
I have no idea where this could come from, except within the Makefile
provided within www/hiawatha

Fix: 

UNKNOWN
How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/www/hiawatha
make install

Comment 3 Chris Hutchinson 2014-02-03 22:53:40 UTC 
Found the problen and Solution
The cure can be created within www/hiawatha/Makefile

find the line containing:

PLIST_SUB+=	ECHO_MSG=${ECHO_MSG}

and change into:

PLIST_SUB+=	ECHO_MSG=${ECHO_MSG}

NO_STAGE= yes

save, and make install as normal.

er, what? 

Adding "NO_STAGE=yes" is not a solution.  :)


Notifying maintainer.

notifying maintainer
Comment 6 Tijl Coosemans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-12 10:29:30 UTC 
The port should be be fixed to use /var instead of PREFIX/var

Inet on here is way to slow to even mess with the Makefile this will have to wait 2 weeks.

proposed patch

Please try this patch.  The problem is that PREFIX/var/lib/hiawatha is an empty directory which requires special treatment (@exec mkdir) with the old pkg_install tools.  The patch also sets LOCALSTATEDIR=/var so PREFIX/var/lib/hiawatha moves to /var/lib/hiawatha.  It has been tested on Redports: https://redports.org/buildarchive/20140808140009-75695/
