Trying to get powerdns to build before I take on making a port. The first issue I have is that it needs something called "Boost" which is a huge set of files. I finally got it to go with MacPorts, but that still yielded an error:
Missing boost - please install Boost packages or see http://doc.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html That was from this command: $CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include/boost ./configure Since I don't need the compiled versions, and just the includes, I took the easy road, which I am wondering how to do in a PortFile, as I do not want to add the hour long compile time to this dependency if I just need to download it, unpack it, and point to the files. Heck, even untarring takes a while. http://doc.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html So now, I do as per above: $CXXFLAGS=-I/Users/haneda/Downloads/boost_1_43_0 ./configure That "boost_1_43_0" directory is a straight SL from SF.net, and just unpacked from tar. I then run the ./configure above, and get about this far: Log file: http://pastie.org/972090 Start snip... checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin10.3.0 checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin10.3.0 checking for style of include used by make...

Is it possible in a Portfile to describe the installation in a way that a distro is downloaded, unpacked, and only referenced, and then cleaned up when done?
