Summary: Installation doesn't fully respect PREFIX 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
I'm working to update po4a to 0.44 on FreeBSD ports tree, and I'm having issues when I set prefix to something != /usr/local. It installs some files on the PREFIX I defined and other files on /usr/local. I'm attaching a full buildlog so you can see which files are installed on /tmp/po4a-0.44 prefix and which ones are installed on /usr/local.

Message:
Module::Build 0.40.07
Perl 5.12.4

I bet I know why I bet it's because I'm setting 

--install_path bindoc=/sw/share/man/man1
destdir=/sw/src/fink.build/root-po4a-0.45-1

I haven't looked at the debian version but maybe it's not setting bindoc?  I'll login to my debian box and grab the source and check rules and see

Hello,

Your version does not work here on my Debian box :(
With both Module::Build 0.38 and 0.4003, $mandir is then undefined.
Which version do you use?

of course with this method line 136 is no longer required but it doesn't hurt so I left it in mine, again I hope it helps solve this report.

Message:
it seems that changing line 135 to

my $mandir = $self->install_path()->{'bindoc'};

seems to work for me.  Maybe this will help others?

I used 

perl -pi -e 's,install_sets[\(]\$self-(.)installdirs[\)]-.(\{)(.)bindoc.,install_map-\1\2\3blib/bindoc\3,g' Po4aBuilder.pm

to patch before build which gives me

my $mandir = $self->install_map->{'blib/bindoc'};

on line 135 of Po4aBuilder.pm

but now I get these errors, that is the right line cause I had no /usr/local but it's not not installed locales or intl man pages at all.

./Build install --install_path lib=/sw/lib/perl5 --install_path arch=/sw/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level --install_path script=/sw/bin --install_path bin=/sw/bin --install_path bindoc=/sw/share/man/man1 --install_path libdoc=/sw/share/man/man3 --install_path binhtml=/sw/share/man/man1 --install_path libhtml=/sw/share/man/man3 destdir=/sw/src/fink.build/root-po4a-0.45-1

Replace l.132 of Po4aBuilder.pm
    my $mandir = $self->install_sets($self->installdirs)->{'bindoc'};
by
    my $mandir = $self->install_map->{'blib/bindoc'};

Message:
it does not, I can post my build log if it helps but 0.45 is doing the same thing.

Hello,

I had trouble with Module::Build, and made some changes in 0.45.  Could you please check whether 0.45 fixes this bug?

Message:
As the fink maintainer for po4a I can confirm this behaviour from 0.42 to 0.45, is there a patch or Build option to fix this yet?
