4.5 Using the Ports Collection The following sections provide basic instructions on using the Ports Collection to install or remove programs from your system. I haven't been able to find any documentation in the handbook that tells how to use the various knobs in a port's Makefile. I suspect that there is a fairly large subset of FreeBSD users that don't know you can do cd /usr/ports/irc/epic5 && make WITH_SOCKS=yes install Another question would be if this would go beyond the 'basic instructions' statement at the top of the page. If is determined to be a 'worthy-cost' I can do up a proposal explaining how to determine and use make arguements to a port. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
