The OPTIONS list shows: OPTIONS = server "blah blah" on So, this tells me that by default it should be on, correct? Yet the port throughout the makefile references WITHOUT_SERVER. I've tried various combinations of WITH_SERVER and WITHOUT_SERVER and I can't seem to disable WITHOUT_SERVER. A couple one-line examples in the manpage would clear this up a lot. I checked the handbook, the ports manpage, and I even looked at the ports default makefile. And finally, once I've figured out how to do this, how/where are we supposed to override this so I never have to deal with it again? I always want a server built. Thanks, -Clint
