You'll need a WANTLIB line, and it would be nicer to use PORTHOME instead
of your custom TESTHOME. Creating .config under ${PORTHOME} makes a few more
tests pass for me, when testing with privsep enabled.
Noted, I think I took the TESTHOME pattern from another port but I
forgot where from,
A quick grep for TESTHOME indicates it might be the tcl/tk ports.
but also if I may, what purpose does WANTLIB serve
here?
man 7 library-specs
It serves the same purpose here as it does everywhere :-)
In general actually I spent much more of my time trying to figure
out how to make the ports framework cooperate with me adding crate
dependencies with licences and all that rather than actually making the
program compile
It gets easier once you committed the steps of updating a rust port to muscle
memory ;-)
Porting is arguably a bit more involved than just making stuff compile: After
all the whole point is to make it build and install for everyone, not just for
yourself.
