Go to the top level of the ports collection (/usr/ports) and run "make" with no arguments. This will build all of them without installing them also.

Yes, but the idea is to try the new version in the build directory (without installing it). Don't run make install until you think it's a good idea. -- Ray Kohler <rjk191@psu.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
