With today’s version, it works all the way to distcheck with BSD make,
but I have to include the CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS environment variables on
the make distcheck invocation.

Thanks for testing. I should have mentioned the revision number (r3357)
that had the fixes; you were trying r3356 yesterday.

It seems we need a way to automatically determine when LDFLAGS and
CPPFLAGS need to be initialized to the values you listed. I wouldn’t
want to require a --with argument to configure for anyone’s default
configuration, which yours seems to be.

NetBSD’s approach is that even pkgsrc and other things are not in the
default paths, which is a bias towards controlled builds rather than
convenience. Putting a --with-prereqs=/usr/pkg on the configure
command line to add the include path to CPPFLAGS and -L/-R to LDFLAGS
would seem fine to me.

This is easy to do, but I’d still like to automate it if possible.

But, having it default to /usr/pkg so the configure script notices
/usr/pkg and adds it in would be ok too, on systems with /usr/pkg present.

Given the workaround of specifiying the environment variables before
./configure, I’m going to put this as an enhancement request (probably
done at the same time as the --enable-foo and --disable-foo stuff).

Thanks.
