"make install" and (sort of) gone are the old days of pkg_add -r! This activity all came about as a result of my (so far trying to) upgrading w3m to the latest install, and along the way wishing to implement openssl and imlib. My question is the following-- It seems like my /etc/make.conf file (which I think I either mv'ed or cp'ed from /usr/local/etc/make.conf) is getting ignored as far as the "CPUTYPE=i686" flag goes. How do I remedy this? I have been editing the various "Makefile" files, overriding the usual "-O -m486" with "-O -mcpu=i686" (what is -march by the way?) but my extended question is the following-- Does the -mcpu flag that mean [paraphrase-ically] "use i686 instructions for the compile process" or does it mean "compile some binaries with i686 smartness built into them?"
