>Description:
I've just submitted PR for new port games/hedgewars (ports/124234), it's opensource worms clone. It uses fpc, and I've ran into some (non-critical) issues with it, so I think it could be improved is some ways.
First of all, there's no clear way to depend on fpc modules.
I've used
BUILD_DEPENDS=${LOCALBASE}/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-freebsd/opengl/Package.fpc:${PORTSDIR}/x11/fpc-x11
but this is badly broken because fpc version and arch are hardcoded here.
Next, many fpc modules depend on lang/fpc-utils, whict in turn depends on MANY things (almost all database client ports for instance). But actually in most cases only fpcmake is really needed.
I can confirm that in case of games/hedgewars, x11/fpc-x11, graphics/fpc-opengl: after hacking fpc-utils to only install fpcmake, everything went without any problems.
So I think fpcmake should really be moved into the separate port.
Last, but not least: fpc seem to support amd64, but the port doesn't.
Lately I've seen some new software written in fpc, and I think both users and port maintainers could benefit from improving fpc support in FreeBSD port system.
So we definitely need to move stuff from lang/fpc/Makefile.units to bsd.fpc.mk to handle dependencies and other stuff gracefully and improve fpc-utils port to not bring in useless depends.
I'm eager to help with this stuff when I have some more free time by the end of the month.
