Replying to [comment:5 snc@…]:
> Having a debug variant available would be handy for people developing
directly against said library. Unfortunately, this isn't the typical user
and certainly not a majority—the ability to edit the Portfile to include
"-g -O0" in the configure.args should be sufficient, or at least has been
for me.
It's more than just adding "-g -O0", it's also generating the .dSYM
libraries (at the very least). It is much easier to tell a user "just copy
and paste 'sudo port -v install metis +debug' into your terminal" than to
tell them to edit a Portfile. Forget about explaining tcl syntax as well.
Editing Portfiles becomes a nightmare of maintenance, especially if you're
trying to share them with your co-workers. With the newest version of this
patch, I've run into no problems (this includes building gcc46, gcc47 as
well as other common ports that usually give me trouble).
