Re: Listing Variables to be set under pkgsrc installation (pkg env variables?)

You can put a following fragment in /etc/mk.conf,
and do "make show-depends-build-defs".

.PHONY: show-depends-build-defs
show-depends-build-defs:
        ${RUN}                                                          \
        ${_DEPENDS_WALK_CMD} ${PKGPATH} |                               \
        while read dir; do                                              \
                ${ECHO} "===> BUILD DEFs for $${dir}" &&           \
                cd ${.CURDIR}/../../$$dir &&                            \
                ${RECURSIVE_MAKE} ${MAKEFLAGS} show-build-defs; \
        done
