/etc/make.conf is read first, from make(1):
First of all, the initial list of specifications will be read from the
system makefile, sys.mk, unless inhibited with the -r option. The
standard
sys.mk as shipped with FreeBSD also handles make.conf(5)
So if the port uses VAR= instead of VAR+= (Or VAR?=) then settings in
/etc/make.conf will have no effect.
AFAIK there is no pretty workaround, you will need to edit the Makefile.
For a more structual solution, ports should use CONFIGURE_ARGS+= instead of
CONFIGURE_ARGS, or a a new variable can be added, where the user can set
custom configure arguments (i.e. LOCAL_CONFIGURE_ARGS).

make.conf is read before the makefile. The use of "CONFIGURE_ARGS=" in
the port makefile means that any change to CONFIGURE_ARGS made in
make.conf is lost.
I think you'll have to maintain a patch against the port makefile.
Thanks, but I thought CONFIGURE_ARGS+= should add this option and not
overwrite the options from the Makefile. Therefore the plus-sign.

Add CONFIGURE_ARGS option for port in make.conf
Hi list,
I want to compile a port with an option that is not controllable through
the FreeBSD Makefile or with make config.
The specific port is lang/php4 and the option I want to add is
--with-mime-magic (I know, php4 is old and not supported after 8.8.08
and --with-mime-magic is deprecated, but thats another story...).
So I added an option to make.conf(5):
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/php4}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-mime-magic
.endif
Unfortonately, this does not work.
When I add this option in the Makefile it works. The relevant part looks
like this:
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-versioning \
--with-mime-magic \
--enable-memory-limit \
--with-layout=GNU \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/php \
--disable-all \
--program-prefix=""
Any ideas whats wrong here?
Regards,
Matthias
