An update to my previous post:

Macports handles the configure and build phases; all that needs to be passed are the arguments, it handles all the environment variables. One drawback is that I can't pass both --with-csl and --with-psl. So I had to override macports' configure phase. At first, I used:

configure {
  system -W ${worksrcpath} "./configure --prefix=${prefix} --with-csl ; ./configure --with-psl"
}

but I didn't realize that by overriding macports configure, the environment variables didn't get passed (as seen in macports' log):

:info:configure in-place build attempt = yes
:info:configure configure: host=x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0 args= '--prefix=/opt/local' '--with-csl'

Amazingly, this compiled on lion, but did not for the fellow who had that script on his 10.6 machine. So I added the variables like so:

configure {
  system -W ${worksrcpath} \
     "CC=${configure.cc} \
      CFLAGS=\"${configure.cflags} [get_canonical_archflags cc]\" \
      CXX=${configure.cxx} \
      CXXFLAGS=\"${configure.cxxflags} [get_canonical_archflags cxx]\" \
      CPPFLAGS=\"${configure.cppflags}\" \
      LDFLAGS=\"${configure.ldflags} [get_canonical_archflags ld]\" \
      ./configure --prefix=${prefix} --with-csl ; ./configure --with-psl"
}

Now the correct environment is set, as you can see:

It builds on lion, but with the following errors:

These errors were in the previous log as well. I don't know if this is because those instructions work for a 10.6 installation, but not 10.7? And there's still those explicit "gcc" calls, as I pointed out in my previous message.
