How can I build a soft with specific built command?

MacPorts takes the view that not every configure option is useful, and that you shouldn't have to look through the output of "./ configure --help" and read a bunch of text to figure out which ones are useful. So part of the job of a port author is to determine which options are useful, and turn these into so-called port variants. So you should say "port info foo" where "foo" is the name of the software you want to install, and it will list the variants that the port author has included, and there will hopefully be a variant or variants matching your desires. Then you install with those variants by saying "sudo port install foo +variant1 +variant2" where "variant1" and "variant2" are variants from the list printed by "port info foo".
