Installing BIND
As I said earlier, BIND by default installs into /usr/local on most platforms. It installs there so that it's kept out of the way of the vendor versions of BIND you might have installed. Mixing the two can cause many problems.
Unlike GNU software, no easy command-line switch exists to override the installation destination. You must override several makefile variables instead. These are defined in your architecture's port makefile, and a good place to override them is in the Makefile.set file. The following lists the variables:
| Variable | Default Value | Use |
|---|---|---|
| DESTBIN | /usr/local/bin | User-level commands are installed here. |
| DESTSBIN | /usr/local/sbin | Administration commands. |
| DESTEXEC | /usr/local/sbin | named-xferinstalls here. |
| DESTMAN | /usr/local/share/man ... |
