libutf8proc @2.8.0: Some files installed into /usr/local

Reported by: nskillen (Nathan Skillen) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.8.1
Keywords: Cc: judaew (Vadym-Valdis Yudaiev), herbygillot (Herby Gillot), TheRealKeto (Keto)
Port: libutf8proc

Description

The install of libutf8proc on MacOS Sonoma drops some of the files in the wrong place, /usr/local instead of /opt/local: 

/opt/local/include > port contents libutf8proc
Port libutf8proc contains:
  /opt/local/share/doc/libutf8proc/LICENSE.md
  /opt/local/share/doc/libutf8proc/NEWS.md
  /opt/local/share/doc/libutf8proc/README.md
  /usr/local/include/utf8proc.h
  /usr/local/lib/libutf8proc.2.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/libutf8proc.a
  /usr/local/lib/libutf8proc.dylib
  /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libutf8proc.pc

When I look at the files lists for the package on ​https://ports.macports.org/port/libutf8proc/details/ for all MacOS versions up to and including Ventura, they all put all files in /opt/local

No errors are reported during the build, but it's affecting at least one dependent port, tmux, relevant lines from config.log: 

| #include <utf8proc.h>
configure:6451: result: no
configure:6451: checking for utf8proc.h
configure:6451: result: no
configure:6524: error: "utf8proc not found"

It also happens for me if I build from source right now on Monterey, so it's not OS-specific.

The problem was caused 16 hours ago when the port was switched to use the makefile portgroup.

The libutf8proc Makefile sets: 

prefix=/usr/local

The Portfile sets: 

makefile.prefix_name \
                    prefix

which causes the makefile portgroup to set prefix=/usr/local as an environment variable (instead of PREFIX=/usr/local as it would otherwise do) but any variable set by a Makefile overrides anything set as an environment variable. The solution is to tell the makefile portgroup to append this as an argument, rather than set it as an environment variable, so that it overrides what was set in the Makefile: 

makefile.override-append \
                    PREFIX
