I don't believe that will be possible with the way the muniversal
portgroup is written today. Looking in muniversal-1.0.tcl, I see
its configure phase runs a loop over all requested architectures,
and in that loop, it copies the worksrcpath to a new worksrcpath
with a name based on the arch, sets up variables and flags, and
then calls configure_main from MacPorts base. The muniversal
portgroup doesn't do anything to change how pre-configure or post-
configure are handled, so MacPorts base continues to handle this,
which means pre-configure and post-configure only run once, not
once per architecture. Also, since the actual worksrcdirs that will
be used by configure are not created until the configure phase,
they don't exist yet in pre-configure, so you can't do anything to
them there.
That's about the same thing I saw. I tried to add a pre-configure
phase in muniversal, but it seems it is not called by the main
interface, contrarily to other phases.
I don't know about that, but the other thing is that pre- and post-
blocks can be defined multiple times. They don't override one another.
So if the portgroup defines a pre-configure phase, and the portfile
defines a pre-configure phase, MacPorts would happily call both of them.
I had not thought about the configure phase creating directories,
but that can easily be switch from configure to some earlier phase.
Perhaps muniversal could do this in a post-extract phase. That way,
you could write a (single) pre-configure phase, and in it, you would
loop over the list of requested architectures and do your reinplacing
in each one.
Are these C source files you're patching? If so, is there maybe a
way to achieve what you want by using a patch which uses the
__LP64__ #define?
Have a look at the atlas portfile, you'll see. No, that's a Fortran
configuration file.
I haven't used fortran. Does fortran not offer something equivalent to
C's preprocessor directives?
