It's actually exactly what would happen if you did:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix
# make install
ie. The OPTIONS settings are only processed after the BUILD_DEPENDS
dependencies have been fulfilled. This is mostly because OPTIONS process=
ing
always used to happen through the inclusion of bsd.port.pre.mk
=20
As of a few months ago, there is now a bsd.port.options.mk standard Makef=
ile
that can be included earlier in the port's Makefile and that has an effec=
t
much earlier in the build process, but it depends on port maintainers
updating their ports to take account of this. (So far, I've only updated=
one of my ports -- textproc/sphinxsearch -- but I was planning to deal wi=
th
the rest Real Soon Now.)
Cheers,
Matthew
