Should it be something > like > make disable-ipc=yes Anytime you need to tinker with the arguments to a port that uses a GNU configure script, you'll want to add a line to the top-level Makefile, somewhere after any existing CONFIGURE_ARGS definition(s), if any: CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-ipc (Note the use of the "+=" operator. This will ensure that any configure options you add won't replace those already specified in the Makefile, but will be appended to them instead) If you cd to the port's WRKDIR, you can run "./configure --help" to see all of the possible options.
