Onderwerp: How to correctly reference WRKSRC of another port?

Hi everyone,









It would be nice if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

I'm currently working on a port (my first ;-)) which has a (optional) build time dependency on the sources of math/nauty. Currently, I've hardwired '/usr/ports/math/nauty/work/nauty27r1' as argument to the configure script, but that's clearly not the way to do it. The Porter's Handbook mentions using WRKDIRPREFIXPORTSDIR [0], but that does not work. A search for WRKDIRPREFIXPORTSDIR in /usr/ports/Mk comes up empty. Do I explicitly have to define this variable? I've set NAUTY_BUILD_DEPENDS=nauty>0:math/nauty:extract. How do I correctly reference nauty's WRKSRC? [0] https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-dads/#porting-wrkdirprefix

Hi,

I have no opinion on this, but just trying to think along.
Isn't it easier to add the math/nauty sources to the DISTFILES of your port?

There must be a 101 ways to do this. But not having looked at the source for your

port, I'm inclined with Ronald.

headers from there.

HTH and good luck!

It wouldn't be unlike getting/using 2 sources from GitHub and combining them for the build. Simply use knob set aside for extra sources. IOW fetch the "extra" source and unpack it in the ${WRKSRC} tree along with your source && include the needed

Ronald.
