bsd.port.mk defines
CONFIGURE_TARGET?= ${MACHINE_ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL}
but porters-handbook/makefile-build.html says
Note: If your package uses GNU configure, and the resulting
executable file has a ``strange'' name like
i386-portbld-freebsd4.7-appname, you will need to additionally
override the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable to specify the target in the
way required by scripts generated by recent versions of autoconf.
Add the following line immediately after the GNU_CONFIGURE=yes line
in your Makefile:
CONFIGURE_TARGET=--build=${MACHINE_ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL}
now, couple of questions:
* what is the first recent of version of autoconf to require --build=?
* what is the percentage of ports that want --build=? (IOW, wouldn't it
already make more sense to make that the default value in bsd.port.mk?
* how about suggesting
CONFIGURE_TARGET:=--build=${CONFIGURE_TARGET}
instead?
* can't the value be decided automagically? e. g.
CONFIGURE_TARGET!=.../configure --help|grep -Fe --build...
