DBConnect (Database Connect) API is an easy to use C++ object API to allow
applications to connect to databases. Your DB applications can now become
cross platform and cross databased.
The API currently implements MySQL, Oracle8 and PostGreSQL drivers in the
Unix environments and MySQL, Oracle8 and ODBC in the Windows environment.
WWW: http://dbconnect.sourceforge.net/
===> The following configuration options are available for dbconnect-0.3.5_5:
MYSQL=on: MySQL database support
PGSQL=off: PostgreSQL database support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

DBConnect has been unmaintained upstream since 2005 and is unused

While here drop nop and misspelled LDFLAG (added in r103180).
Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Split the postgresql ports into a server and a client part.
All ports depending on postgresql shall use the USE_PGSQL=yes knob
defined in Mk/bsd.ports.mk. Bumping portrevisions where needed.
