Recover Make ARG's from a ports Install
On a server I have a package installed using ports and now I have to install the package with exactly the same make arguments on another server. I just don't find a way to see what arguments where used to install it the first time. With Linux I would look into config.status is there something similar with FreeBSD? Sorry for having to ask but I am using FreeBSD for the first days now after 5 years using Linux only :) -Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Recover Make ARG's from a ports Install
Hello Alexander, There's /var/db/ports/name of port for the result of make configure, if that is what you mean? Otherwise most ports should have their .conf and other settings in /usr/local/etc. Good luck!

If the arguments are given on the command line when invonkig make in the
port directory, they are not saved.
A mechanism (called OPTIONS) was later added to the ports infrastructure
that does save the arguments. Not all ports have been completely
converted to using options, and some arguments cannot be set with
options. But if arguments are set with the OPTIONS mechanism, you can
find them in the file /var/db/ports/portname/options.
Additionally, arguments can be set in /etc/make.conf. Those should look
like this:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/povray}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_FLAGS=yes
.endif
This means that when make is invoked in a directory that ends in
graphics/povray, the variable WITH_OPTIMIZED_FLAGS is set.
HTH, Roland

Re: Recover Make ARG's from a ports Install
If you look below the port directory, there is a work directory and in that a directory where the actual files are configured and Make files created named for the port and version. In that directory is a file called: config.log This file at the top has the actual configure line used. -Derek At 02:18 AM 3/12/2007, Alexander Schlichting wrote: On a server I have a package installed using ports and now I have to install the package with exactly the same make arguments on another server.

It has the advantage that portupgrade will use the contents of that file when updating to new versions so that your settings are not lost. Make arguments as well as a variety of other options for installing and updating ports can reside there. Typically, I use this if there are no OPTIONS (ie, make config) settings available and I need to use non-default options. The only difference is that you would use portupgrade -N ... or portinstall to install new ports rather than make install. See the man pages for further information.

I am personally aware of that but do not use it. Besides using /etc/make.conf OPTIONS, I am just fine with specifying options on the command line mostly because this is the most flexible way of experimenting with options. It has the advantage that portupgrade will use the contents of that file when updating to new versions so that your settings are not lost. Make arguments as well as a variety of other options for installing and updating ports can reside there. That is similar as specifying in /etc/make.conf as listed by someone else (with the added benefit of not having to install anything outside of base system). In any case, neither of /etc/make.conf or portupgrade provide the facility to store the arguments given on command line if one happen to do that instead of updating either of the two files. Note that the command line recording that I am trying to describe is not a substitute[0] to but complementary to various port|package tools (if they are happened to be installed). - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
