Almost all ebuilds using ./configure support reading EXTRA_ECONF to |
| 7 |
pass additional arguments (done automatically through econf wrapper). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
e.g. EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-inews" could be added through package.env[1] |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Can similarly be done for meson and cmake with MYMESONARGS and |
| 12 |
MYCMAKEARGS if the ebuild is using the meson/cmake eclass. |
| 13 |
ebuilds with custom systems may sometime use EXTRA_ECONF anyway |
| 14 |
or some other custom variable (e.g. EXTRA_FFMPEG_CONF), usually |
| 15 |
seen in the ebuild itself. |

If you think it's an important option (haven't checked what it's |
| 18 |
about), could also fill a bug to get it added / supported for |
| 19 |
the long term. |
