I disagree with these lines you've added: {{{ # MacPorts wants to override these, but we really need them as they are. build.post_args CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=c++0x -Wall" }}} The reason why the pure portgroup sets CXXFLAGS is to build with the right `-arch` flags. Overriding this would normally mean `-arch` flags would no longer be used. However in this case I see they are still used, because the build also uses the LDFLAGS variable which still contains them. But let's step back and look at the real reason why you added this line. Looks like the pure-stldict Makefile sets CXXFLAGS, and the portgroup is overriding it. Generally, there needs to be a way to build a piece of software with additional CXXFLAGS (and other flags). Up until now, my understanding was that they correct way to do this with pure modules was to just supply `CXXFLAGS=...` as an argument to the `make` command. If that actually overrides the Makefile's CXXFLAGS, what do you suggest instead? Also, I see that the Makefile has a hardcoded reference to `g++` which needs to be changed to `$(CXX)`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45142#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
