Breaking it out: packageA depends on packageB. Neither has been built. make install # in packageA packageA and packageB are now made and installed. The work directories are still there, with sources, objects, etc. make clean # in packageA packageA and packageB are cleaned out. In additions, if packageA depends on packageC, which was installed but not cleaned - it's cleaned now. You can disable the cleaning of dependencies with "NOCLEANDEPENDS=yes" in /etc/make.conf. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
