Suprised by how little info it carries I told my self "Use the Source, Luke", and got under the impression that the right way to configure a port is # make CONFIGURE_ARGS[+]="..." [configure-or-latter- target]. However, after issuing this sequence: # make extract # make CONFIGURE_ARGS="--prefix=/usr/local/mysql ..." # make install installed mysql in /usr/local. Is this a bug in the port, or is this NOT the way to ./configure a software installed from port? TIA cynic@mail.cz ------------- And the eyes of them both were opened and they saw that their files were world readable and writable, so they chmoded 600 their files. - Book of Installation chapt 3 sec 7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
