Can someone clue me in on how to pass a variable to a port during make? I am trying to customize the behavior of mail/imap-uw and mail/cclient. They ordinarily use unix mailbox format when creating new mailboxes, and I want them to create mbx format mailboxes. This is achieved by setting CREATEPROTO=mbxproto during compilation. For example: make osx CREATEPROTO=mbxproto achieves this on my OSX machine. However, I'm not sure how to pass this setting to the FreeBSD port. If I do: cd /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw make install CREATEPROTO=mbxproto it doesn't happen. Is there some way to pass a given argument to the make process from the make command in the port? Thanks! -- Mark Edwards
