I am working on a new port that has several "sub-builds." That is, the = distfile has several subdirectories, each with its own = configure/make/install. Are there any best practices or suggestions for = dealing with this scenario? I didn't find anything in the handbook, and = list searches didn't turn up anything (though I don't know what exactly = to search for). I know that I could do multiple slave ports and set WRKSRC for each of = them, but I don't really want to clutter up ports/packages with a bunch = of new slave ports which really don't apply standalone. I suppose I could define do-(configure|build|install) to do configure, = make, make install, respectively, in each of the subdirs. This way, = though, I would be losing a lot of the stuff that ports does for free = (configure args, make args, etc.) unless I reproduce parts of = bsd.port.mk. Is there another way to do this gracefully? Am I missing something = obvious? Any suggestions or ideas?
