There is typically a section CONFIGURE_ARGS= where the default ones are listed and you can add/change/delete your own. Stephen Hoover Dallas, Texas -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Taylor Dondich Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 1:57 AM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: A question about the ports system I understand the functionality of the ports system at a beginning level. However, with packages, I know that you can use various configure flags to build the package with just the abilities you need. Is there a way to do this with the ports system? Does it just create a really huge binary to handle possibly anything you need or does it leave parts out that you MAY need?
