non-native builds by-pass make.conf and env settings

I have some small problems when building non-native apps (which are not as yet in the ports tree): Third party software that can be built on FreeBSD:
1. The build for the app will by-pass settings in /etc/make.conf (like gcc46 + ccache)
2. Build also by-passes env settings (like WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj) and places the build in the same folder where Makefile is.

How do I get the build to adhere to and not ignore my make.conf and env settings?
 
There may be two methods to get things done.

1. Write your own BSD make script (i.e. Makefile). BSD makefile is very straightforward and simpler than GNU makefile.

2. Port your app to FreeBSD. i.e. Write a port for your app.

Once you use system's make command, you can use those *.mk files by adding a line 'include <xxx>' into your make script.
 
I really can't believe that it would be that complicated...
The App is not mine btw, it is 3rd party so I have no control over it. I just want to build on my machine the FreeBSD version of the software, but have the Makefile recognize my personal settings / environment.

why would I try to port an app from a project I m not a part of? The developers of whatever project have a lot more info and way more knowledge about their app anyway.

There are a lot of porters that don't have any relation to the project they're porting.
 
Well, here are the specifics then: I am building mesa/dri from git source which is higher version than in ports tree. I need to build it WITHOUT_NOUVEAU AFAIK since my card is a Radeon 3000.
Nouveau flag is in my etc/make.conf but build ignores it as well as the better gcc46 and builds using gcc42...
 
No need to build from source. Just set WITHOUT_NOUVEAU and rebuild Xorg.

Code: 
root@j-build-amd64:/usr/ports#pkg_version -vIl'>'
dri-7.6.1,2                         >   succeeds index (index has 7.4.4,2)
libGL-7.6.1                         >   succeeds index (index has 7.4.4)
libGLU-7.6.1                        >   succeeds index (index has 7.4.4)
libdrm-2.4.17_1                     >   succeeds index (index has 2.4.12_1)
libglut-7.6.1                       >   succeeds index (index has 7.4.4)

FYI, the r600 classic driver has been dropped from the mesa git tree. If you want a newer driver than what's in ports, I suggest grabbing the 7.11 release. You'll also need to update libdrm.

There's also no need to worry about WITHOUT_NOUVEAU. That simply tells the ports tree to not hold back the version of libdrm and mesa, but since you're building it outside the ports tree, they obviously won't be held back.

As for using gcc46... You probably just need to set the CC environmental variable before running configure.

I think the point is that Mesa 7.6 is still much older than what's available.

I was trying to post when the connection blacked out...

I'm building from the GIT source as explained here and from several git repos: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/proto/glproto (as example)

The version in git is 7.11.2, I think while ports version is 7.6, much farther behind than git. All depends have been built, but when I try to build mesa its self, it halts with a Nouveau error. The WITHOUT_NOUVEAU option comes from your posts btw Adam, thanks.

I filed a bug which has been subsequently corrected, but not getting me "home" because:
1. make.conf is ignored
2. my preferences are ignored (gcc46, ccache, but also WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj)

I tried below with no result, gave error saying option not recognized.
mesa> # ./autogen.sh -DWITHOUT_NOUVEAU
 
Again, mesa from git has no driver for your GPU. The r600 classic driver was dropped a while back.

Use Mesa 7.11, and check the options to ./configure to see how to specify what options to use. You probably need to use --with-dri-drivers=r600 --with-gallium-drivers=

Sorry, I must have blacked out on the git part much like my internet connection.
1. This is not understood however; where is it if not in GIT?
Use Mesa 7.11

2. The depends (libgl, dri2proto, glproto, etc) from the DRI wiki - should I keep them or revert to ports ver?
3. Do I need to re-build Xorg after mesa?

It's not developed or even maintained any more. It is no longer in Mesa git. I was wrong, however, in believing that Mesa 7.11 was the last version with the r600 classic driver. The Mesa 7.11.2 release does still contain the r600 driver. Just make sure you are using 7.11.2, and not the latest from git.

You should use the versions from the wiki and you do not need to rebuild Xorg.

Thanks Adam.
As far as I can understand, ftp and git actually carry the same versions (because the "Source Code Repository" menu on the site directs to: http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html

So I really do not get the difference between the ftp source and the git source.
The difference from what I can tell is that I was running autogen while you suggest running configure instead.
 
git is the source code repository. That's where all the ongoing development is done. The r600 classic driver was removed from the git repository recently.

The ftp server contains only releases. 7.11.2 is a released version that still includes the r600 classic driver.
 
Grrrr.
Code: 
checking expat.h usability... no
checking expat.h presence... no
checking for expat.h... no
configure: error: Expat required for DRI.
textproc/expat2 is installed, but I get this error. Are my custom Kernel settings interfering with something that should be installed through /usr/src/contrib/expat?

I tried several folders using --with-expat= option, no good. When using autoconf.sh, I had resolved this problem by running commands below first.
# setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib
# setenv CFLAGS -I/usr/local/include
