That's what the manual suggests. > Ans the man page should be fixed. By putting it into make.conf, it pollutes the environment of ever make(1) run on the system. (Yes, unlikely to ever cause a problem,) In src.conf it only impacts the builds of the system and ports. This is why src.conf was created a few years ago. In fact, it was originally supposed to only impact the build of the system, but the ports Mk files were modified to pull it in, to, much to my annoyance. I liked being able to modify compile options just for the system without them breaking ports builds. Simple rule... any definition used by make(1) only for system builds belongs in /etc/sec.conf. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
