Place make options in either pkgtools.conf, pm-020.conf or /etc/make.conf, man portmanager explains how. There isn't a way to pass make options from portmanager's command line. > > Can someone verify that portmanager reads pkgtools.conf? You can see for yourself, run portmanager -u -ui, it will stop before upgrading the first port. As it collects initial information any make options found in either pm-020.conf or pkgtools.conf will be shown to the right of the port name. One caveat, you must have ruby and portupgrade installed or portmanager will ignore pkgtools.conf. > > Thanks for your time welcome -Mike
