Your 'USE_GECKO' setting in /etc/make.conf (which h= as effect in the global scope) has made *every* port on your machine depend = on=20 gecko related libraries. It's not really surprising you're experiencing = a bit of brokenness. Instead, you need a WITH_FOO flag. WITH_FOO is designed for end users to= tweak the way ports work in detail: they only have any effect in ports th= at are specifically written to take notice of them; everything else will jus= t ignore them. Even so, it's very common to use directory matching login= or, as you have, things like PORTCONF to limit the application of a WITH_FOO flag to a specific port. The whole OPTIONS dialogue system is just a front-end to setting WITH_FOO flags for a specific port. Note: something that may cause a certain amount of astonishment to neophy= te users. The opposite of saying: WITH_FOO=3Dyes is not: WITH_FOO=3Dno ### Don't do this. but: WITHOUT_FOO=3Dyes ### Do this. That's because the value of 'WITH_FOO' variables is not actually tested=20 anywhere, only whether the variable is defined or not. Setting=20 WITH_FOO=3Dbananas would have exactly the same effect, as, indeed does=20 WITH_FOO=3Dno or WITH_FOO=3Dover_my_dead_body Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig6FA97B376E6F57F4405C2C5F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAktVcncACgkQ8Mjk52CukIys+ACfc0ENCwcxHXRDQZuGlQ/iVPsb 6D4AnA2qT75Z8xxf7byMQfaXZk0JNQoA =dTeX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6FA97B376E6F57F4405C2C5F--
