Thanks for clarifying my question for me; I thought the double-quotes
around the phrase would suffice, but yes, it's apparently too vague.
So, now that we're all on the same sheet of paper, what defines should be
set, and to what values, in /etc/make.conf for me to "get this right"?
So far, it looks like this:
MAKE_KERBEROS4=yes
MAKE_KERBEROS5=yes
NOPROFILE=true
XFREE86_VERSION=4
HAVE_MOTIF=yes
NO_OPENMOTIF=yes
The first two are on Stefan's advice. The third is my preference; I don't
think I'll really be needing profile libraries. The last three suit my
system; I run XF86 4.2, and I have LessTif installed.
Per Stefan's second reply, I understand a re-rebuild of the world is going
to be safest, if not required. But I'd still like a "best bet", if not
comprehensive, list of the defines and values required. I can't find any
relevant info on my disk, nor at freebsd.org, nor by a Google search (the
latter two could very well be due to badly-formed queries).
I would have thought such a configuration would be commonplace, at least
amongst the release engineers and RC testers?
