Hi,
I was building a port a few days ago, and I stumbled upon the problem
of how to pass parameters to the configure phase of the build process.
I couldn't find a solution in the Handbook, so I posted a question to
the mailing list. I received an answer, and I think it would be
helpful to others if the answer made it to the ports section of the
handbook.
The important piece of the messages below is the excerpt:
# make CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-wrapping install clean
That's the answer I needed.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Much thanks.
Mike.
