No, just re-executed the .config command with changed flags, this is how
I compile my ports on FreeBSD. Do you have to clean everything out each
time ? If so, then how ?
If a build goes wrong, is it best to clean it out with a make clean,
before starting again ?

Well I downloaded the binaries, and put them in the download folder of
the moz directory, but then the config command complained that it
couldn't find the moz libraries and that I needed to download the
tarball sources !!!



It's a good job I'm used to building other stuff on FreeBSD, else I'd
have lost patience by now :-))
