That makes EVERYTHING link There is another point of MOTIF_STATIC adding exist too. Since it control MOTIFLIB too (as HAVE_MOTIF), not mentioning it gives reduced picture of things which can leads to confusion related to MOTIFLIB (one example of such confusion you already give). > Seriously though, I don't envision that as a description and default > values for all possible variables. Those should go in bsd.port.mk, bsd.port.mk is default for all systems and not tunable. /etc/make.conf (or similar thing) reflects per-system defaults. I.e. better leave bsd.port.mk untouched and set every non-standard variable values elsewhere. > That means make.conf.ports is empty by default where people can > add things as they wish.
