mercury @11.0 +universal mmc fails with inappropriate paths

[evan-dickinson]

MacOS: 10.6.8. Xcode: 3.2.6.

When I run the Mercury Compiler, I get the error below. /opt/local/bin/mmc sets two environment variables that reference the build directory.

% mmc --make hello
/opt/local/bin/mmc: line 26: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_mercury/mercury/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/mercury_compile: No such file or directory
/opt/local/bin/mmc: line 26: exec: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_mercury/mercury/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/mercury_compile: cannot execute: No such file or directory

The mercury_compile binary also has the build path hard-coded into it. I suspect that the configure step went wrong...

Looks like tons of files installed by the port, including dynamic libraries, have the destroot path in them. I don't even know where to begin to unravel this mess.

The current upstream version seems to support DESTDIR so we should be able to fix this by updating the port and removing all the custom destdir stuff. See #36408. It doesn't build for me yet though, so help with that would be appreciated.

Is this still a problem with the current version (14.01.1)?

Looks like it's working now. I was able to successfully install 14.01.1_1 with MacPorts 2.4.2 on macOS Sierra.
