GNU make uses a different syntax for conditional stuff. Read the gnu make
info file for more info. I think it goes something like this:
ifdef NOPORTDOCS
blahblahblah
else
woofwoofwoof
endif
But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that the value of
NOPORTDOCS isn't propagated down to the gmake process (at least I don't
think so -- when I tried it it didn't work). The only way I found of
Ydoing this is to do it in the post-install target in the port makefile.
See my port emulators/xmame for an example.
