Description Jean-Yves Lefort 2003-10-14 15:30:21 UTC 
Knowing which make variables can be set for a specific port is
cumbersome: the user has to mentally parse the Makefile.

The proposed patch formalizes the handling of make variables. A new
target, describe-options, generates a human- and computer-readable
options list.

Fix: In the Makefile of port foo:

OPTIONS=			WITHOUT_MBOX \
				WITHOUT_MH \
				WITHOUT_MAILDIR \
				WITHOUT_POP3 \
				WITHOUT_SYLPHEED

OPTION_WITHOUT_MBOX=		Disable mbox support
OPTION_WITHOUT_MH=		Disable MH support
OPTION_WITHOUT_MAILDIR=		Disable Maildir support
OPTION_WITHOUT_POP3=		Disable POP3 support
OPTION_WITHOUT_SYLPHEED=	Disable Sylpheed support

And the bsd.port.mk patch:

Good point!
I suggest add it in build stage. May be just after pre-everything?

We went with the OPTIONS solution instead.  Thanks for the submission.
