[kde-freebsd] Problem with installation of kdebase-kompmgr-3.5.8

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Hi all,

Ran into a problem with the newest kompmgr when installing 3.5.8. I'm running 
6.2-RELEASE-p8 on i386.

Here's the error message:

==>  Checking if x11-wm/kompmgr already installed
cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/kompmgr/work/kdebase-3.5.8/kwin/kompmgr && 
install -c -p '' -o root -g wheel -m 555 kompmgr /usr/local/bin/kompmgr
install: wrong number or types of arguments

I tracked it down to x11/kde3/Makefile.kde, in this section of code:

.if !defined(_NO_KDE_NDEBUG)
.if defined(PARALLEL_PACKAGE_BUILD) || !defined(WANT_KDE_DEBUG)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-debug
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-debug=full
STRIP=''
.endif # defined(PARALLEL_PACKAGE_BUILD) || !defined(WANT_KDE_DEBUG)
.endif # !defined(_NO_KDE_NDEBUG)

I have WANT_KDE_DEBUG defined in /etc/make.conf. So what appears to be 
happening is that instead of STRIP being set to an empty string, it's being 
treated as a macro and substituting the two single-quotes into the 
INSTALL_PROGRAM variable in kompmgr/Makefile. (I checked in bsd.port.mk and 
STRIP forms part of INSTALL_PROGRAM.)

Why this happens with kompmgr and no other kde packages I have no idea. (I'm 
assuming that Makefile.kde is used elsewhere.)

Cheers,
Dwayne
