Subject:   Changing Make options duing port installation?
Message-ID:  <20020203112402.A7291@sheol.localdomain>

Hello All.

How does one change the make options and parameters during the installation
of any one port?

An example: The mutt port disables SSL-encryption ('mutt -v' reports
"-USE_SSL"). The skeletons in /usr/ports/mail/mutt reference a Makefile
(and/or config.h?) variable "WITH_SSL" which governs the build.

I would like SSL-encrypted POP in mutt. Assuming (yeah, I know...) that
"WITH_SSL" does this (and nothing else?), can one either pass a parameter
to 'make' (like "CCOPTIONS=... make", or somesuch), or hack the variable
into one of the skeleton files?

The first would be the most convenient, but if the latter is the way to
go, is there a "standard" or "uniform" place to add such things, or some
established methodology?

If this has been covered before, sorry. I couldn't find anything relevant
in the Handbook.

Dave
