Put another way, where are the various > build variables kept? The options are stored in /var/db/ports/<name>/options. The "Frontend" to access them is: # make config # make rmconfig # make config-recursive # make rmconfig-recursive The last two options are really helpful when the problems you're encountering are provided by a dependency port. See "man 7 ports" for details. Optional, in worst case, options can also be provided my a Makefile.local in the port's directory. Also note that /etc/make.conf as well as the configuration files of port management tools may contain options. > Once again, this old 650-704-7070-PDP4-KA/KI/KL/KS-CTSS- > Convex-IBMPC-3B1 warrior needs help :-} Impressive path! =^_^= -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
