Botan 1.8.7 +universal fails 'configure'

[steven@…]

I'm running Snow Leopard, but I doubt it's relevant. The configure bombing with 'no such option' tells me it's probably not OS-specific.

Er, sorry. Forgot the silly Wiki formatting:

Might pay to mention that you have +universal in variants.conf...

Botan 1.8.8 also fails to build on snow leopard / 10.6 +universal port -d install output to follow.

botan build failure as dependency of monotone

[pieter.debaets@…]

As the configure.py does not support --disable-dependency-tracking, adding

 configure.universal_args-delete --disable-dependency-tracking

to the Portfile fixed the issue for me.

Build system appears to want to configure for a single CPU, so universal variant disabled in r72852.
