I don't think there is any way to do that, especially not if the port you depend on already is installed without the non-default option set, since the options used for building a port is usually not stored anywhere, so it is normally not possible to determine if the installed port was compiled with the necessary options set or not. The only way I can think of to handle this situation is to create a slave-port for the port you depend on that has the desired options set, and then depend on this slave-port instead. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
