cmake @3.0.2_1+universal: configuring PowerPC on an Intel system fails with "Unknown option: --host=powerpc-apple-darwin10.8.0"

Reported by: larryv (Lawrence Velázquez) Owned by: michaelld (Michael Dickens)

Port: cmake

Description

The muniversal-1.0 portgroup adds a “--host” option to configure.args when the host and build architectures differ. CMake’s configure script doesn’t recognize this option.

:debug:configure Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_larryv_Projects_MacPorts_git_trunk_dports_devel_cmake/cmake/work/cmake-3.0.2-ppc" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/share/man --docdir=/share/doc/cmake --parallel=1 --init=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_larryv_Projects_MacPorts_git_trunk_dports_devel_cmake/cmake/work/cmake-3.0.2/macports.cmake --system-libs --host=powerpc-apple-darwin10.8.0 
:info:configure Unknown option: --host=powerpc-apple-darwin10.8.0

This only manifests on Snow Leopard because the cmake portfile already sets

supported_archs i386 x86_64

on Intel and

supported_archs ppc ppc64

on PowerPC.

The attached patch stops muniversal-1.0 from adding the option and allows the build to complete successfully, but I don’t know whether it’s the cleanest solution. Another approach would be to drop PowerPC support entirely; I don’t know how useful it is to build cmake itself universally.

Michael, I’d appreciate it if you could take care of this at the same time as #46493.
