"Hello, i am looking for something like USE flags in gentoo GNU/Linux distribution. in the USE variable are defined keywords which are mapped onto compile-options." Lute: I don't think he means that he's looking for USE flags in Gentoo. I read the paragraph as "I would like Gentoo-style USE flags or their equivalents." Delphinus: Having said that, I'm not familiar enough with the ports collection to really know of anything like this. One thing you might like to look at is /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf which can be copied and edited from /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.sample (from memory). As documented in http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/09/18/FreeBSD_Basics.html you can set various make options for ports every time you compile them. I guess you *could* add MAKE_ARGS = { '*' => 'WITH_QT=1 WITH_GTK=0 etc etc', } to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, but that's almost guaranteed not to work in all cases. You're better off examining each port individually, setting the make options in pkgtools.conf, and then installing with portinstall/ upgrading using portupgrade. No worries, then, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
