Hi, so I wanted to see what would happen if I used a port and removed the emacs-nox packages and its dependencies. Then I started installing the emacs port. What is going on here? It seems as if I need to compile the whole system myself now. Is there a way to give all the answers to the questions about compile options at the beginning? I don't have time to sit around until the next question shows up. What if I want to change the compile options? How do I make it so that all the packages asking for me for options will do so again? I don't even remember all the packages that want to be compiled. Can I globally set compile options like -march=native (or whatever the equivalent for FreeBSD is)?
