[ excerpt (with adaptations) from developer's website with modifications ]
MKVtoolnix will evolve into a set of tools to create, alter and
inspect Matroska files under Linux and other Unices, just what the
OGMtools do for the OGM format.
===> The following configuration options are available for mkvtoolnix-102.0_1:
DVDREAD=off: Support reading DVD chapters via libdvdread
FLAC=on: FLAC lossless audio codec support
GUI=off: GUI (Graphical User Interface) support
MANTRANS=off: Build and install manpage translations
NLS=on: Native Language Support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

multimedia/mkvtoolnix: fix build with libc++ 21
With libc++ 21 multimedia/mkvtoolnix fails to build, with errors similar
to:
In file included from lib/fmt/src/os.cc:13:
In file included from lib/fmt/include/fmt/os.h:11:
lib/fmt/include/fmt/format.h:745:28: fatal error: use of undeclared
identifier 'malloc'
745 | T* p = static_cast<T*>(malloc(n * sizeof(T)));
| ^~~~~~
This is because malloc and free are defined in <cstdlib>, and os.h does
not explicitly include it. (Before libc++ 21, the fmt library was
"lucky" that <cstdlib> was included transitively, but this is no longer
the case.)

multimedia/mkvtoolnix: FLAVORify port for GUI/non-GUI variants
Implements the suggestions from the ports-committers mailing list:
* Use FLAVOR instead of slave port for the non-GUI variant

multimedia/mkvtoolnix-nox11: Add mkvtoolnix without GUI variant
Details: The default mkvtoolnix package comes with a large number of x11
related dependencies. Without UI, the tools still provide very useful
functionality, and are well suited for headless systems. Having a -nox11
instance of the port allows to provide an official GUI-free package.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

multimedia/mkvtoolnix: Update to upstream release 69.0.0
Details:
- Fixes and enhancements, see:
https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md
- Consistent use of American English in program options as well as JSON
structures. This is a potentially breaking change, but as these
have been introduced just recently in 68.0.0 end of May, the expected
number of affected users is reasonably low.

the QT5 OPTION has been renamed to GUI.

build on FreeBSD 11 and is marked BROKEN.
misc/qtchooser: remove
QtChooser allows you to select your version of Qt among those installed.
However, this tool is no longer supported upstream and will not be
available for Qt6.
By default, our Qt installations are done in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/qt${QT_VERSION} as recommended.
We have added symbolic linking for the main binaries to
${LOCALBASE}/bin with the suffix -qt5.
