Isn't there any environment variable where I could tell 'port' "please be so kind of adding -with-python=/opt/local/bin/python2.7" when you run configure?

There is intentionally not a way to do that. Providing a supported way for users to override the Portfile at the command line opens the door for users to do things they should not do, which will cause problems, which will cause them to ask us for help.

But you can edit the Portfile by running [...]

Thanks a lot for the clarification. I didn't know it was so easy to modify a Portfile. It worked. Well, I later faced bug [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39849] but was able to easily fix it with the edit suggested in the ticket discussion. Anyway, the purpose was installing midori, and after a number of packages installed, I know hit another problem with webkit-gtk-2.0 which seems to be unreported (an Internet search got no results about the error I'm getting). I'm going to open a ticket right now, in the webkit-gtk-2.0 port. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42051#comment:15> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
