If there are specific examples, then let me know, with FULL logs. I did'n try every port, but since IMHO this change is not a noop I think there are broken ports. Apache2 is an example (I just tried). If you change WANT_* with USE_ in bsd.php.mk all the php extensions will be broken (just tested). I asked you to explain why this would be a noop, but I didn't see the response (maybe I missed it). IMHO this change is not equivalent because: - WANT_* means I want autotools - USE_* means I want to *use* autotools (and implies WANT_*) The run-autotools stage in fact is driven by the USE_* knobs. WANT_* is used by ports that run autotools in a particular way (called by other programs or called with particular parameters) and cannot run the usual run-autotools stage. With this change they are called twice. If you say that in your system they are equivalent, probably you have a non-standard system. -- Alex Dupre
