In most cases, you can define CONFIGURE_ARGS on the make command line to generate arguments to configure. make -DCONFIGURE_ARGS='--with-included-regex' install This will work with varying degrees of success for a given port, as some ports replace CONFIGURE_ARGS with their own, instead of appending to it. --K To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
