I had read somewhere that you can go into a port dir you want to install, and do make extract & then cd into the work dir just created, you could do a ./configure with some option afterward that would show you all the available arguments/options you can include when you configure it before making it, instead of reading the makefile. Then, in that dir, you do ./configure --arguments --options to get it ready to build it the way you want. And, instead of that, you can also do ./configure \ which puts you in a shell on the next line where you enter all the arguments and then exit on an empty line when you're done. Which, btw, works for me. I hope this time I've made it more clear. And no, I'm not trying to build binutils. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCsf5Ly0Ty5RZE55oRAoalAJ9OJ/H+kZ1K1OTUXPhWCyULSdTxEQCdGYF5 rkjbIaZ9jCrOCc7sRIoIJjA= =nviR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
