This file controls the actual build process.

If the BUILD file is not present in the spell, cast uses default_build:

attention: default_build is not the same in BUILD_API 1 as in the new BUILD_API 2 !! see Build Split How-To, Build_api_2, and Build split design doc.

default_build for BUILD_API 2: 

  OPTS="$OPTS --build=${BUILD}"

  [[ $CROSS_INSTALL == on ]] && OPTS="$OPTS --host=${HOST}"

  ./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr  \
              --sysconfdir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/etc  \
          --localstatedir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/var  \
                    --mandir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/man   \
                     --infodir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/info  \
                     $OPTS                 &&
  make

To add an option to ./configure, use this instead of copying the above and then adding the options:

WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE OPTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE config_query API or as a persistent variable. OPTS is an internal sorcery variable which is autogenerated from dependency information, using it as a persistent variable is a direct contradiction with the intended purpose of persistent variables and WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY. If you need to have a custom value for OPTS (beyond the auto-filled values from dependencies) use another persistent variable list <SPELLNAME>_OPTS. Then follow the instructions below. 

OPTS="--option-1 --option-2 $OPTS" &&
default_build

or if the values are in a variable: 

OPTS="$MY_CUSTOM_OPTS $OPTS" &&
default_build

default_build for BUILD_API 1 (obsolete! solely as a reference since BUILD_API 1 spells still exist! do not write new spells in BUILD_API 1, instead use BUILD_API 2): 

(

  [[ $CROSS_INSTALL == on ]] && OPTS="$OPTS --host=${HOST} --build=${BUILD}"

  ./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr  \
              --sysconfdir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/etc  \
          --localstatedir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/var  \
                    --mandir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/man   \
                     --infodir=${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/info     \
                     $OPTS                &&
  make                                     &&
  prepare_install                    &&
  make    install
