Solved Require LLVM_CONFIG variable in port

[David Kalliecharan]

Hello,

I am looking at porting over llvmlite, and numba for python. It builds just fine with the documentation provided, however it is required to pass LLVM_CONFIG:
LLVM_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/llvm-config37 python setup.py

Which works fine as an install for myself. However as a port, I wasn't sure how to add that. It could be done as setting LLVM_CONFIG globally ahead of time but, I think the port should do this.

Otherwise I get a Runtime error from python, which states that LLVM_CONFIG is not set

I am unsure of what specifically to look for in the porters handbook, still getting familiar with it.

Thanks or any help!

You should be able to pass env variables to setup.py via MAKE_ENV:

MAKE_ENV= LLVM_CONFIG=${LOCALBASE}/bin/llvm-config37

I am unsure of what specifically to look for in the porters handbook, still getting familiar with it.

I haven't seen it in the porters handbook but in /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/python.mk:

.if !target(do-build)
do-build:
        @(cd ${BUILD_WRKSRC}; ${SETENV} [b]${MAKE_ENV}[/b] ${PYTHON_CMD} ${PYDISTUTILS_SETUP} ${PYDISTUTILS_BUILD_TARGET} ${PYDISTUTILS_BUILDA$
.endif

This is all assuming your port is structured like what's described in the handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/using-python.html
