Includes a bodge to avoid an autoconf namespace problem that has since
been fixed upstream, I added a comment reminding to remove it after the
port is next updated.
some existing COMPILER lines with arch restrictions etc. In the usual
case this is now using "COMPILER = base-clang ports-gcc base-gcc" on
ports with c++ libraries in WANTLIB.
This is basically intended to be a noop on architectures using clang
as the system compiler, but help with other architectures where we
currently have many ports knocked out due to building with an unsuitable
compiler -
- some ports require c++11/newer so the GCC version in base that is used
on these archirtectures is too old.
- some ports have conflicts where an executable is built with one compiler
(e.g. gcc from base) but a library dependency is built with a different
one (e.g. gcc from ports), resulted in mixing incompatible libraries in the
same address space.
devel/gmp is intentionally skipped as it's on the path to building gcc -
the c++ library there is unused in ports (and not built by default upstream)
so intending to disable building gmpcxx in a future commit.
Enable ruby bindings.
Perl bindings have been renamed from Search/Xapian to just Xapian.
Force timer_create detection to false, since our timer_create just
returns ENOSYS anyway.
Xapian is an opensource search engine library.
It is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily add
advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It
supports the Probabilistic Information Retrieval model and also supports
a rich set of boolean query operators.
This is a prerequisite of porting pinot.
