I don't know of any ports that use -Dxxx to specify options at the port level. If the port Makefile uses an "OPTIONS=" variable, then it will use WITH_xxx and WITHOUT_xxx to check the option values. You can also use WITH_xxx and WITHOUT_xxx checks without defining OPTIONS. It's possible that a port Makefile could do something like this: .if defined(WITH_FOOBAR) CFLAGS+= -DHAVE_FOOBAR_H .endif In this case, the -Dxxx option is specific to the application configuration and/or build system, but not part of the ports infrastructure.
