[squid-users] make clean install issue with squid 7

[Jonathan Lee]

Current Issue with my test VM

Goal: Test Squid 7.1 port update (for your PR) on FreeBSD/pfSense build environment.

I switched the distfile to Squid 7.1 (squid-7.1.tar.xz from GitHub).

Normal port patches were broken; you removed some / all of files/.

I reached the configure phase but now configure bombs out on Heimdal (Kerberos) detection:

vbnet

configure: error: Required library 'heimdal-krb5' not found
I installed heimdal and verified:

Headers in /usr/local/include/heimdal/krb5.h

Libraries in /usr/local/lib/heimdal/libkrb5.so

I tried adding CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, KRB5_CONFIG, --with-krb5=/usr/local, and even considered symlinks. Still failing.



Root Causes (Likely)

Squid 7.1’s configure expects Heimdal base layout (as on some systems) and doesn’t search the nested /usr/local/include/heimdal.

A FreeBSD port patch previously adjusted detection (now removed).

The environment variables are being overwritten/reset by the ports framework or by a patch/configure macro.

The configure script wants MIT krb5, not Heimdal, but is forcing a Heimdal-style variable path names.

There is a logic mismatch in configure: it tries both MIT and Heimdal probes and mis-parses results because expected macros aren’t defined (look in config.log for failing test programs).
