>Description:
It seems that buildlink is not dealing properly with arguments that
contain escaped whitespace. For example, if your CFLAGS contains
-DTCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE=long\ long
then buildlink will turn this into
-DTCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE=long
and
long
thus messing up the compiler.
I think this happens in wrapper/arg-source...
>How-To-Repeat:
install x11/tk
try to build a package that sources /usr/pkg/lib/tkConfig.sh to
determine various tcl/tk configuration flags.
Note how the compiler will bail out.
Note how work.log contains
(arg-source) push: -DTCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE=long\
(arg-source) push: long
>Fix:
This probably involves some nasty quoting in buildlink3's complex
interiors.
