## 12.3. `WRKDIRPREFIX`

Make sure your port honors `WRKDIRPREFIX`. Most ports do not have to worry about this. In particular, if you are referring to a `WRKDIR` of another port, note that the correct location is ``WRKDIRPREFIX``PORTSDIR`/`subdir`/`name`/work` not ``PORTSDIR`/`subdir`/`name`/work` or ``.CURDIR`/../../`subdir`/`name`/work` or some such.

Also, if you are defining `WRKDIR` yourself, make sure you prepend `${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}` in the front.
