* From: Chuck Robey <chuckr@picnic.mat.net>
* I haven't been watching too well until very lately, about ports
* development. Did you notice the relatively extravagant use I had to make
* of paired patch-it-then-sed-it sequences I had to make in thot? First
* patch in something like %%MOTIFLIB%%, then sed it out with the real value
* of $(MOTIFLIB). Is there any facility yet in ports to automate something
* like that? The dual patch-it-then-sed-it?
Err, you should be able to patch them as literal '${MOTIFLIB}' and
'${PREFIX}'. They are passed to subprocesses using MAKE_ENV.
Which answers your next question (in case you were planning to ask it)
-- to add things that are not passed by bsd.port.mk by default, you
just need to define it as MAKE_ENV="VAR=${VALUE}" and it will also be
substituted.
