good to know. i stumbled across that when i was trying to figure that out before, and sometimes it's easier to read code than documentation. i was interestingly enough just now updating those scripts anyway (like literally opened it up right before i got this, for reasons unrelated to this thread...) > > which will give you everything in a clean, unchanging way... well i may not have been clear enough on that point, but i thought it was implied that since it was internal it was not documented, and thus ... > (especially since ffx is likely to want C++ on top of C. this may have something to do with his original problem. > > You don't even have to change directory... > > nausicaa$ SUBDIR=lang/gcc/4.8 make show=PKGNAMES > ===> lang/gcc/4.8 > gcc-4.8.4p2 g95-4.8.4p1 gobjc-4.8.4p1 g++-4.8.4p1 libstdc++-4.8.4p1 > gcj-4.8.4p1 gnat-4.8.4p1 > but you still have to be in /usr/ports. personally i am used to the '(cd ...)' construct myself for other things so it is easier for me. but i understand your meaning, you're just expounding upon the subtleties of the system.
