https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260964 --- Comment #3 from Stefan B. <sblachmann@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Bernard Spil from comment #2) Hi Bernard, thank you very much for reply! In short, the application (graphical configuration with suexec requirements) now has been abandoned. Iirc back then the information in the FreeBSD Handbook (or some other reputable source like the mailing lists) was to use -D<flag>. As this did not work, I asked in the FreeBSD Forums, and helpful SirDice showed me the make.conf alternative. It was also suggested that I post a bug report to clear that discrepancy. However the handbook (also the sections regarding setting up web servers and suexec) seems to be updated a lot in the meantime, which is almost 5 years (see https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ports-manpage-need-for-clarification-of-make-target-function-and-behavior.78420/post-490210 ) So I guess this has solved itself by time, or the advice in the forums mentioned above was incorrect. Thank you again Bernard! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
