Arguments of the form "--with-abc=def" are typically fed to  
configure, not to make.  If you are using ports to build the software  
in question, you would adjust the port Makefile to include the extra  
option by changing the CONFIGURE_ARGS.

If you are building by hand, you would run "./configure --with-abc=def".
