I couldn't find in the docs how to pass options to the configure script.

=46or instance, I'm compiling postgresql under FreeBSD 5.3 stable.
After 'cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7' and ' make' a list of=20
configure options is shown; among them I'm interested in "WITH_TESTS""=20
but I do not know how =A0to pass this option to the compiler (or to=20
configure????).

Could you please help me?
