What you have there won't work, because `make index` won't work, plus Makefiles shouldn't be doing external calls if they don't have to. You'll also have a problem whereby LOCALBASE isn't defined yet, and I don't believe that IGNORE after bsd.port.pre.mk will work (I could be wrong about that). You have two options: 1) Turn it into a pre-configure, which is slightly ugly for the end-user but still gets the job done pre-configure: if some file in binutils is static; then echo "NOPE"; exit 1; fi 2) (The correct way to do it) Create a binutils-static slave port, remove the static option from binutils proper, and depend specifically on the non-static port. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org https://www.adamw.org
