the most convenient way to batch build ports is to use
this sort of if statements in make.conf
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/databases/mysql*}
BUILD_STATIC=yes
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes
.endif
#reference
#http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/01/14/upgrading-ports-and-preserve-make-options
this will work with portupgrade even in dependancies
because the port will always look to make.conf for
default system settings.
so
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/foo/bar}
BATCH=yes
WITH_THISOPTION=yes
WITHOUT_2NDOPTION=yes
.endif
will build with and without those options. just
remember to prefix the OPTIONS in a menu config setup
with WITH or WITHOUT to enable/disable what you want.
Always make sure to remember WITH_FOO=no means
WITH_FOO=yes, it should be
WITHOUT_FOO=whatever_it_is_now_set. The good thing is
individually you can choose to use one setting over
the other, and this also ensures one ports options
don't mess things up in another ones build. I know
when I was blindly setting build options in make.conf
weird problems began to arrise until I got errors
about make.conf being too large.
this can make make.conf get large so I've been meaning
to move the port configs into port.conf instead and
reference it in like
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr/ports/*}
include /foo/port.conf
.endif
I believe this is the correct syntax but I haven't
tried it yet. This method is how I am batch building
my servers. Ultimately I will make a Makefile to build
what I need and let it do its thing.
I wish this method was documented better. Although it
is trivially simple if one understands makefiles so I
can see why its not really discussed. It is none the
less very effective and simple.
What I would like to know is if there is a simple way
to get the build options for every port in the
collection so it can easily be brought into a
"port.conf" file simply. I know I saw a command that
would parse the makefiles of all the ports and do
something to that effect but I can't recall it.
