Description

Hello,

I'm working on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.8. I don't have root privileges on the machine, and am trying to install MacPorts into a local folder (somewhere off of my home folder).

After unpacking the 2.1.3 source download, I issue the following:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/macports --enable-readline --with-install-user=$USER --with-install-group="CORP\Domain Users"

This works. When I get to do "make install", I get the following output:

===> making install in doc /usr/bin/install -c -d -o nbkjmov -g "CORP\Domain Users" -m 0755 /Users/nbkjmov/macports /usr/bin/install -c -d -o nbkjmov -g "CORP\Domain Users" -m 0755 /Users/nbkjmov/macports/etc/macports < prefix.mtree /usr/sbin/mtree -U -e -p /Users/nbkjmov/macports > /dev/null mtree: line 6: unknown group "CORP\Domain make[1]: * [install] Error 1 make: * [install] Error 1

FYI, I tried to fix the issue myself. E.g., I tried to edit ./Mk/macports.autoconfig.mk and I made sure the DSTGRP was set properly:

DSTGRP = "CORP\Domain Users"

I added the double quotes. But still, the "make install" fails.
