When building ports which have dependencies, is it normal for those dependencies to be both built and installed? Or is it normal for a dependency to only be installed if it's required for compilation? Ex. while building Postfix from 4.4 Stable from /usr/ports/mail/postfix % make installed package libtool-1.3.4_2 installed package pcre-3.4 installed package openldap-1.2.11_2 built package postfix-20010228.5_1 it could have just been a fluke from the Postfix port, but I didn't expect to have anything installed without invoking "make install" John Hoover johnhoover@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
