Port: editors/ted
Hi:

This port does not use configure in the traditional way. Instead, in
the WRKSRC Makefile I find:
#### Actively supported 'configure' options are:
#### -------------------------------------------
####
#### --prefix Use another place than /usr/local
#### for installation. E.G.
#### --prefix=3D/opt/Ted
#### --with-MOTIF Use the Motif gui toolkit. (The
#### default)
#### --with-GTK Use the Gtk+ gui toolkit. (Still
#### experimental)

CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=3D--with-MOTIF
I made a patch so that the configure options are now:
CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=3D--with-MOTIF --prefix=3D${PREFIX}
My questions now are:
1) Using this --prefix=3D${PREFIX} will satisfy the requirements Kris
has asked for?
2) My Makefile (for the port) has:
GNU_CONFIGURE=3D yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D --prefix=3D${PREFIX}
CONFIGURE_TARGET=3D --build=3D${MACHINE_ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL}
CONFIGURE_ENV=3D CC=3D"${CC}" CFLAGS=3D"${CFLAGS}"
it does not look like GNU_CONFIGURE=3D yes and CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D
--prefix=3D${PREFIX}, CONFIGURE_TARGET=3D are being used.
Is it OK to delete them from the port Makefile?
3) Do I need to have CONFIGURE_ENV=3D CC=3D"${CC}" CFLAGS=3D"${CFLAGS}" ?
Thanks for any guidance on this; I am new to porting.
