Hello,
I am working on a new port here and have a few questions regarding the new
style of handling Makefile options.
The program I got, is configured in a non standard way, i.e. there is no
configure script or the like. Depending on what modules/libraries you want
to build along with the executable,
pre-build:
${GMAKE} ${MAKE_ARGS} cfg
is run, to configure the program's build system. This can be translated to:
pre-build:
${GMAKE} include_modules="module_1 module_2 ..." cfg
I set up MAKE_ARGS in the following way:
.if !empty (EXTRA_MODULES)
MAKE_ARGS= include_modules="${EXTRA_MODULES}"
.endif
About a year ago, when writing the original Makefile, I handled the
situation like this:
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MMYSQL}
BUILD_DEPENDS+=
${LOCALBASE}/libexec/mysqld:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql56-server
RUN_DEPENDS+:= ${BUILD_DEPENDS}
EXTRA_MODULES+= db_mysql
PLIST_SUB+= MYSQL=""
.else
PLIST_SUB+= MYSQL="@comment "
.endif
To get the port out there, folks now want me to change the way I handle the
Makefile options. Therefore, the above if/else/endif block now now looks
like this:
OPT_ABOVEVARIABLE= YES
OPTIONS_SUB= YES
MYSQL_BUILD_DEPENDS=
${LOCALBASE}/libexec/mysqld:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql56-server
#
# This stuff now hangs loose
#
RUN_DEPENDS+:= ${BUILD_DEPENDS}
EXTRA_MODULES+= db_mysql
#
#
#
Given the new style of handling Makefile options how do I handle passing my
EXTRA_MODULES variable - there is more than just the one above - to the
port's configure stage via MAKE_ARGS and how would I deal with the
RUN_DEPENDS+:= ${BUILD_DEPENDS} situation?
None of the situations offered on:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-options.html
match my given scenario.
Any pointers?
