Some port maintainers on FreeBSD 10 are modifying various ports to
accommodate gssapi use from heimdal base. Typically the change is
something like
...
LDFLAGS+= -lgssapi_krb5
..
which works for heimdal in the base system, but prevents a package (or
port build) because in security/heimdal the content of libgssapi_krb5 is
contained within libgssapi; and so doesn't exist as a separate library.
Would it be possible to wrap this dependency within a
.if !defined(HEIMDAL_HOME)
LDFLAGS+= -lgssapi_krb5
.endif
Its fairly standard practice to test for HEIMDAL_HOME which invariably
implies that the security/heimdal port is being used, and incidentally
identifies where the libraries are located.
Though a better solution, which also reflects the real dependency upon
the security/heimdal port
.if defined(HEIMDAL_HOME)
BUILD_DEPENDS+=
${HEIMDAL_HOME}/lib/libgssapi.so:${PORTSDIR}/security/heimdal
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${HEIMDAL_HOME}/lib/libgssapi.so:${PORTSDIR}/security/heimdal
.else
LDFLAGS+= -lgssapi_krb5
.endif
As this also adds the heimdal port dependency into +COMMENTS (& possible
MANIFEST?), as well as build dependency.
I'm not a port maintainer/committer, but for those that are, there are a
few ports that might be useful as a reference regarding use of the
heimdal port:
security/cyrus-sasl2-gssapi
net/samba3
dns/bind99
I don't have heimdal from base installed, which is why I noticed that
mail/dovecot2 was the most recent port that needed some additional
lines, so I figured it might help others rather than my patching just my
ports tree.
