Don't worry. It's my fault: "He who asks the right question,
gets the right answer."
I was wondering:
1) I use javac in one port which is a fact
2) I do not need any special functionality from jikes
Therefore, I need javac installed but rather not
depend on jikes... even if it is installed. If it is not installed,
I do not want it to be installed.
Shouldn't we have both NEED_JAVAC and NEED_JIKES?
.ifdef(NEED_JIKES)
NEED_JAVAC=yes
JAVAC=jikes
.endif
Unless, I am mistaking my defining NEED_JAVAC does not
imply in my wanting jikes but rather javac.
