Know a port's work directory name before running make

[MG]

1 question related to automated port building: how can I determine what's going to be the name of the work directory where the build results are going? (like work-default for glib20 beyond its 'bootstrap' procedure, or work-skylake for gpu-firmware-intel-kmod on a skylake system?)

make -V WRKDIR ?

 

[MG]

make -V WRKDIR ?

Never seen a port with WRKDIR as working directory. Are you talking about a variable?
Edit: Ok I get this. Never used make variables like this. See if this is going to solve things...

[titus@z /usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod]$ make -V WRKDIR
/usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod/work-skylake

[titus@z /usr/ports/devel/glib20]$ make -V WRKDIR
/usr/ports/devel/glib20/work-default

It seems that if there is a port FLAVOR you end up with an hyphenated name with the flavor.

Before flavors all ports used the /work directory.
