>Description:
>From /usr/share/Mk/bsd.java.mk:
# The default value for NEED_JAVAC is temporarily (!) YES
# This will change as soon as the affecting ports have NEED_JAVAC=YES
. if !defined(NEED_JAVAC)
NEED_JAVAC= NO
. endif
Obviously NEED_JAVAC defaults to NO. Either to comment above is incorrect
or the default setting is. The comment in rev. 1.9 clearly indicates that the
default changed to NO deliberately.
>How-To-Repeat:
Trying to use ${JAVAC} in a port-makefile without setting NEED_JAVAC to "yes" first
leaves ${JAVAC} undefined.
>Fix:
Remove offending comment.
