I think I have tried this enough ways to be close, but I just want to be
certain.
I want to *append* a value onto an existing environment variable from a
Portfile. I don’t want to overwrite what is there in the environment variable
already.
adding for example this in the Portfile:
configure.env-append "LDFLAGS=-Wl,-w”
adds my new LDFLAGS onto the existing LDFLAGS in the environment, as far as I
can tell.
without:
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/universalnew/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names
-Wl,-syslibroot,/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk
-arch x86_64 -arch i386'
with:
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-w -L/opt/universalnew/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names
-Wl,-syslibroot,/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk
-arch x86_64 -arch i386'
So that works (better than I initially thought, actually).
However, as we previously noted in another ticket exploring this:
${configure.ldflags}
does not pick up any of the modifications that are done to LDFLAGS in
portconfigure.tcl or in Portfile, and so is, practically, seriously flawed:
pre-build {
puts ${configure.ldflags}
}
-L/opt/universalnew/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names
Have we discovered a way in the Portfile to force ${configure.ldflags} to be
updated to be the same as the fully processed LDFLAGS in configure.env?
