OK, I have tried to figure this out myself, but only succeeded in=
=20
getting a few questions:

1 As far as I understand, pkgsrc is doing its best to stop me from=
=20
  supplying library paths to the linker, be it via CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, =
=20
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever. Still it seems (from my build attempt =
=20
  below) like libimf from (in my case) /opt/intel_cc_80/lib is=20
  really needed; so where should this piece of information be supplie=
d?

  With my (limited) understanding, I would have thought that things l=
ike=20
  this should automatically be added by the wrapper scripts, but it=
=20
  seems not to be the case.

2 At the beginning of my attempts to try out pkgsrc on linux with icc=
,
  I just set PKGSRC_COMPILER to icc in mk.conf, and went ahead, I the=
n=20
  realised that in order to actually use icc I had to set CC to=20
  path_to/icc (otherwise gcc was used). Again, I would have thought t=
hat
  setting PKGSRC_COMPILER would have been enough, so have I missed=
=20
  anything in my setup of pkgsrc, or is it just the way it is?=20
  (Why in that case?)


Some googling gives that xorg won't build with icc anyway at the mome=
nt
(see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3283), but since =
the=20
whole attempt to use icc was intended to be some kind of learning=
=20
experience of how pkgsrc really works, I'm still interested in=20
understanding the above.
