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
= other changes
- print/magicfilter
GNU_CONFIGURE -> HAS_CONFIGURE since it's not generated by autoconf

- introduce OPTIONS to enable/disable features
- add more features to the OPTION dialog
- choose reasonable defaults for OPTIONS (disabled patented stuff)
- remove usesless WRKSRC line
- move LDFLAGS to the place where it is necessary
- extend CONFIGURE_ARGS to set the directory for the adminport socket
* Note: racoonctl is useless without adminport enabled
* create the socket dir in post-install
- bump PORTREVISION that users notice the changes
- finally: remove one item from the TODO list on top of the Makefile ;)
pkg-descr:
- shortened by one line to please portlint
pkg-plist:
- slight reorganization
- add create instructions for the adminport socket dir for the
"installing from package" case
- add removal instructions for the adminport socket dir
files/patch-configure:
- add some stuff to detect libiconv when the GSSAPI OPTION is enabled
- iconv is required for GSSAPI but the library is not added to LIBS
in the original configure script
- Why not use USE_AUTOTOOLS and patch configure.ac?
* because the leads to configure running twice which is useless
overhead. I found no way to avoid this so we patch configure.
files/racoon.sh.in:
- add the adminsocket directory to required_dirs

ports/security/ipsec-tools rc.d script defaults to 'enabled'
It also installs its own versions of setkey and libipsec.so
which seems redundant as they are part of the base system
and should be used in preference.

bringing it in line with the old security/racoon port and the handbook [1]
- Make use of USE_RC_SUBR instead of home-grown substitution and install
- Prevent installation of some intermediate sample configuration files

in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
