It's wrong if you write in your Makefiles something about:
--------------%<----------------
...
OPTIONS= ABC "Enable abc feature" off
...
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
...
.if defined (WITH_ABC)
# configure ABC feature
.endif
...
.include <bsd.port.post.mk>
------------->%-----------------
The main reason is that, ${OPTIONSFILE} included as is, and if you enable ABC(as in example), you have in ${OPTIONSFILE} something about:
--------------%<----------------
...
WITH_ABC=true
...
------------->%-----------------
Ok, and now some experiments.
If ABC is feature, that you want enable im many ports (for example, OPTIMIZED_FLAGS or THREADS, or ESOUND/ESD.....)
you possibly want add it to your /etc/make.conf file.
cat WITH_ABC=true >> /etc/make.conf
than, you want compile port, without this feature. You do `make config' and as result in your ${OPTIONSFILE} you have:
--------------%<----------------
...
WITHOUT_ABC=true
...
------------->%-----------------
And now - compile...
when you type `make build' you have defined BOTH `WITH_ABC' and `WITHOUT_ABC' knobs
and as you check _only_ WITH_ABC, this feature included. That's wrong!!!
Please, check WITH_ knobs, as it:
.if defined (WITH_ABC) && ! defined(WITHOUT_ABC)
