System: FreeBSD cx420564-b 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Tue Apr 24 08:33:58 GMT 2001 fracture@cx420564-b:/usr/src/sys/compile/HOBOIV i386


	Fresh install of 4.3-RELEASE, running on i386; recieved ISO from ftp.lt.freebsd.org.
>Description:
	I desire all of my programs that are installed by ports to drop into /usr/local instead of the
	more-often-used, but in my opinion somewhat unfortunate (can be a pain when upgrading) /usr/X11R6
	with the X distribution.  I set the X11BASE variable to /usr/local, which is obviously incorrect,
	but works on the vast majority of ports; since most of them use autoconf.  However some of them
	have tried to use X11BASE to find X11 headers/libs (only one I've seen so far is www/netscape-remote).
>How-To-Repeat:
	check out /usr/ports/www/netscape-remote, you'll have to edit the makefile manually to get it to
	compile if you have X11BASE set to somewhere other than your X install.  (I know this is what _should_
	happen; hence this is not a bug, just a change-request).
>Fix:
	I'd suggest that there be an additional variable, perhaps X11PREFIX, that I could set to force X11
	apps to go to wherever I want them, regardless of the setting of X11BASE which seems to be intended
	to point to the x installation.

 I'm sorry, I just discovered the proper way to do this.  I didn't realize that
 all places in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that set PREFIX do so with the ?=
 operator for this express purpose.  I've set PREFIX in my /etc/make.conf and
 removed the X11BASE, and all seems fine.
