#44340: texlive-bin @2014 Configure error "-arch ppc" needs "--disable-luajittex"

     Type:  defect               |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal               |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:  --disable-luajittex  |       Port:  texlive-bin
---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 On Mac Mini PowerPC OSX 10.5.8 and xcode314_2809,

 sudo port install texlive-bin

 fails with the message

 :info:build configure: error: Sorry, can not preprocess <lj_arch.h>

 :info:build === configuring in luajit failed

 :info:build make[2]: *** [recurse] Error 1

 (full main.log attached)

 My diagnosis:  luajit is not available for PowerPC+OSX10.5.8 (xcode3.1.4)
 and luajittex should be disabled according to:
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751150
 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.texlive.build/2371

 1. Here is a fix:
 Edit the texlive-bin Portfile 122023 2014-07-13
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/tex
 /texlive-bin/Portfile

 Change line 172 from:

                 --enable-build-in-source-tree

 to these two lines as 172 and 173:

                 --enable-build-in-source-tree \

                 --disable-luajittex

 Save and rerun
 sudo port install texlive-bin
 This now runs to completion.

 2. Request:  is there a way to pass the flag --disable-luajittex in from
 the "port build" command line?  I tried a few variants but no luck.  An
 exact example with the correct ' " and \ would be appreciated.

 3. Can the Portfile be changed so that if -arch ppc is present then
 --disable-luajittex is also present?  That would probably help others.
