Hi Chen, You wrote: > When I tried to look inside the doc source > dir/share/mk/doc.install.mk whose name suggests that I can define > variable there, variable defined in that seemed not working at all > there. As far as I know, hacking .mk files directly is not a recommended method. Make variables and the /etc/make.conf should be used. > if this is mentioned in handbook, that would be a lot simpler for > people who don't know about it yet. Thanks for the feedback! :) > (how) Can I build my doc in one machine and install on a remote box > running httpd server? Well, an NFS between the two machines could be set up. I am not an expert in this topic, but it might work in my opinion. You can find more information about building and installing web site and documentation in the FDP Primer [1], and you can read about NFS in the Handbook [2]. The original idea could also be found there [3]. (Hm, a topic for yet another tentative subsection in the Handbook :)) :g [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/the-website.html [2] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-nfs.html [3] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/small-lan.html
