Ports options in make.conf vs. GSSIAPI

[Stefan Bethke]

I’m having trouble selecting options for ports through make.conf.

For most ports, this works fine.  I have set NO_DIALOG=yes so I can run ports commands from scripts and cron without being stuck in a dialog; for those few ports where I do need custom options, I set appropriate _SET and _UNSET options in make.conf, for example:
graphics_ImageMagick_SET+=      PANGO
graphics_ImageMagick_UNSET+=    X11
graphics_ImageMagick7_UNSET+=   X11

However, if I try to do the same with GSSAPI, ports won’t build unless I do create a config file for that port.

For example, with dns/bind99, without options for that port in make.conf, I can run make showconfig and other build commands without issue.  As soon as I add either of these:
#OPTIONS_UNSET+=  GSSAPI_BASE
#OPTIONS_SET+=    GSSAPI_MIT
dns_bind99_UNSET+=  GSSAPI_BASE
dns_bind99_SET+=    GSSAPI_MIT

running make showconfig produces:
# make showconfig
====> You must select one and only one option from the GSSAPI single
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /freebsd/checkout/ports/dns/bind99

If I then run make do-config and simply save the config presented, the port starts working again as expected.

This appears to affect any port that uses GSSAPI.

I would very much like to be able to build ports without any interaction, and since I’m setting config options through make.conf, I’d also prefer not having to create ports options files, ever.

Is there some option I’m missing for GSSAPI?  I find the user documentation for GSSAPI not very helpful in this regard.  I’ve tried to understand what Mk/Uses/gssapi.mk does, but failed.

p.s. here’s a slightly condensed version of make.conf that I’m using:

DISTDIR?=		/var/ports/distfiles
WRKDIRPREFIX?=	/var/ports/work
INDEXDIR=		/var/ports
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES?=	true
NO_DIALOG=	yes
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=	YES
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=	bdb=48
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=	perl5=5.20
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=	ssl=openssl
OPTIONS_UNSET+=  GSSAPI_BASE
OPTIONS_SET+=    GSSAPI_MIT
editors_emacs_UNSET+=	MAGICK
# … more ports options
