That doesn't really buy us much, does it? The flags still wouldn't necessarily contain their final values before universal_variant is set. Getting back to the original question of the thread, there would be no problem providing a way to see what it looks like the eventual CFLAGS would contain, given the information that is currently known. What we can't do is know how the input variables are going to change later in the portfile. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
