When compiling lang/swipl it is required to run.

/usr/local/bin/uuid-config --cflags | --ldflags

... as part of deducing header / library placement of misc/ossp-uuid. This is all part of the cmake setup of lang/swipl, and currently I use an awful patch to hardcode something in the cmake file pre-make - but this file actually allows one to set a variable - $LibUUID_ROOT - to the path of uuid-config from the outside. I have successfully experimented with this, so I added:

BUILD_DEPENDS= uuid-config:misc/ossp-uuid

.. to the makefile. Now my question is: How do I properly get to the pathname of uuid-config?? In order to pass it to cmake somewhat like (pseudo):

CMAKE_ARGS= -DLibUUID_ROOT=${which uuid-config:sh:H}

... I have done loads of experiments and searched the webs to no avail.

Thanks - N :o)

The proper and canonical solution for this problem is -DLibUUID_ROOT=${LOCALBASE}
Ports should expect their dependencies to be installed under ${LOCALBASE}.

Remove the patch and use use USES= localbase:ldflags? https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/lang/swipl/files/patch-packages_clib_cmake_FindLibUUID.cmake
Best regards, Daniel

... I tried both changes and synth still complains! Both changes make sense to me, and when make'ing from the cmdline all is well!?

For the record - this turned out to be a minor discrepancy in ossp-uuid.
Thanks for the fedback - N :o)
