Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
- Remove CONFIGURE_TARGET hack in various bsd.*.mk
- USE_GNOME=gnometarget is now an no-op
Changes to individual ports, other than removing the CONFIGURE_TARGET hack:
= pkg-plist changed (due to the ugly CONFIGURE_TARGET prefix in * executables)
- comms/gnuradio
- science/abinit
- science/elmer-fem
- science/elmer-matc
- science/elmer-meshgen2d
- science/elmerfront
- science/elmerpost
= use x86_64 as ARCH
- devel/g-wrap

${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsd${OSREL} is now passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS if
GNU_CONFIGURE is defined. Take the target out of CONFIGURE_ARGS of
some ports that added it explicitly; define it as
${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsd if the port doesn't like the ${OSREL} part;
define it as something else (such as ${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsdelf if
the port requires that; define it as an empty string if the port
doesn't like it at all.
The last might be a sign that a GNU_CONFIGURE port actually doesn't
use GNU's version of configure at all; but I don't have time to go
look at them all, we'll fix them as time goes on.
At least we've got much fewer "-unknown-"s in the tree as the result. :)
