doc on make command
I am looking for documentation on the make command that is used to install ports. The man page says there is an tutorial, but does not say where it's at or how to get to it. make search= make install clean make all-depends-list make index make fetch-recursive and the list go on and on. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe you are looking for the manual page for ports: man ports Mark On Mon, 22 Dec 2003, fbsd_user wrote: I am looking for documentation on the make command that is used to install ports.

Most of the popular make(1) targets are documented in the ports(7) man page. The tutorial on make(1) itself is /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make/paper.ascii.gz (or you might have a PostScript version there instead, depending on how you set the PRINTERDEVICE variable in /etc/make.conf) There's also some stuff in the Developer's Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html However, the best tutorial if you want to progress beyond those introductory treatments is simply to study the way Makefiles are used in /usr/ports and /usr/src -- the files in /usr/share/mk and /usr/ports/Mk are where it's at.

In addition to what's already been said, have a look at the comments in the following file which detail which targets you can pass to the make command: /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk (search for 'Default targets'). -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
