Often you need to specify values, like for postgresql:
make PREFIX=/some/other/dir
And here's another question. I always use the same options for make, make install and make clean, ie:
make PREFIX=/some/other/dir make PREFIX=/some/other/dir install make PREFIX=/some/other/dir clean
This is because I noticed that some ports (I forgot which one I was having this experience with) need these options in order to install and clean correctly as they generate the package name based on the options specified. Is what I'm doing OK or is there another, beter/simpler/easier way to do it?
Greetings!
If there are options you use every single time you run make, put them in /etc/make.conf. If, in the above example, that PREFIX was only meant for postgresql, just hand make all the targets on one line, instead of dividing it up into three.
Instead of: make <options> make <same options> install make <same options> clean
do: make <options> install clean
That will perform the same task, with less typing required. :-)
