build ports without X -- make.conf
Hey all, In BSD 4.x, there was a section in the make.conf manpage that said you could define WITHOUT_X11 and ports would build without it (for things like ghostscript, cvsup, etc, which have distinctly different ports) For some reason this is gone in 5.x -- what's the appropriate way to do this now (since WITHOUT_X11 still worked on a couple ports I've tried.) If this is still the valid way, shouldn't it be documented as such? -Dan -- A mother can be an inspiration to her little son, change his thoughts, his mind, his life, just with her gentle hum. -No Doubt, Different People, from Tragic Kingdom Dan Mahoney Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Who told you it had gone? I've been using WITHOUT_X11=yes ever since I started using FreeBSD as a server operating system, and it's always had the intended result, even up until now as I'm ready to go from 5.4-6.0.

I have to imagine it was removed for a reason. -Dan -- SOY BOMB! -The Chest of the nameless streaker of the 1998 Grammy Awards' Bob Dylan Performance.

That's by design. The install stores a default make.conf file in /etc/defaults/make.conf . Local changes should go in a new file named /etc/make.conf . The idea being that if you upgrade later, the upgrade will modify /etc/defaults/make.conf leaving your local changes intact. (Of course there's no guarantee that the local changes will still work after an upgrade, but at least they won't be overwritten.) There are a number of files in /etc/defaults -- it's worth checking that out. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
