 Right, that make sense…

 is that you commented out all of the configure arguments, including the
 one that enables lua support. Portfiles are written in the Tcl language,
 and in Tcl a backslash at the end of a line continues that line to the
 next one—even comment lines.

 Ah, I did indeed overlook that (I am not using Tcl very often, so that one
 would be on me)… I will indeed make sure I check so that things work
 correctly knowing this.
 Thank you for the effort.

 I should evidently revisit my lua and make sure it is healthy. It is not
 the first time it has caused me troubles (mpv comes to mind…).
