This lets you, for example, install all of the ``biology'' ports. The targets that do this are build, checksum, clean, configure, depends, extract, fetch, install, and package. The following targets will be run automatically by each proceeding target in order. That is, build will be run (if necessary) by install, and so on all the way to fetch. Usually, you will only use the install target. config Configure OPTIONS for this port using dialog(1). -Glenn >-- >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
