Passing CMake options

Hi there,

I want to pass the following option to the mysql56-server port: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5....ion-options.html#option_cmake_default_charset . But I can't figure out how to pass it.

I want to compile it with -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8.

I've already tried [cmd=]cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql56-server && make -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8[/cmd].

And also used portconf:
Code:
databases/mysql*: CONFIGURE_ARGS=--default_charset=utf8

But nothing works. I only have make or ./configure experience as a simple 'consumer', so I'm lacking the insight to see how this should be passed properly.

Anyone who can shed some light on this?
 
From /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.cmake.mk

Code:
# CMAKE_ENV     - Environment passed to cmake.
#               Default: ${CONFIGURE_ENV}
# CMAKE_ARGS        - Arguments passed to cmake
#               Default: see below

If you look at the mysql56-server Makefile:
Code:
CMAKE_ARGS+=-DINSTALL_DOCDIR="share/doc/mysql" \
[... etc ...]

So you can just use [cmd=]make install CMAKE_ARGS=-DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8[/cmd]

Note quite a few ports use CMAKE_ARGS= or CONFIGURE_ARGS=, rather than += (or perhaps ?=), this is *wrong* since it will override whatever you give on the commandline instead of adding to it. Always be on lookout for this.
