Till then, you'll have to look in the Makefile, there are typically a lot of WITH_ or WITHOUT_ options. When posible, I recommend installing with default options and configure those options manually, otherwise, remember to save your custom options somewhere. It makes upgrade easier.

I can't believe you said this and got away with it. You can save your make options in /etc/make.conf and never have to mess with them again, unless you decide to change your install for some reason. See the following posts, for example...

Sorry did I get away with it? all those posts are before I subscribed - sorry again, should I check the archive before answering?


Taking an arbitrary post, it appears that make.conf is not always the best place since this sets options globally. But thanks, I have now learned how to get my ports compiled with support for a4 paper and _not_ letter :-)

Cheers, Erik
