prevent overwriting custom make options in ports
I use ports/lang/gcc42. I set WITHOUT_JAVA=yes in the Makefile. However, with each tree update this option is overwritten, so I have to edit the Makefile each time I update the port.

Add the following to your /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/gcc*}
WITHOUT_JAVA=yes
.endif
What this means is: if the current build directory (.CURDIR) matches
(M) the pattern */lang/gcc*, set WITHOUT_JAVA=yes. See the VARIABLE
ASSIGNMENTS section in the make(1) manual page for details.

I use port-mgmt/portconf for that.

make options for ports
I'm struggling with an issue in trying to compile ports. The specific one is the imap-uw port, but it's a more general question. I need to be able to download and expand the distribution file, then to perform some source code modifications, and then compile and install the port. It seems that whichever sequence of make targets I try, I end up either wiping out the existing source code and re-expanding the distribution (which wipes out my edits); or simply reinstalling the already-compiled binaries without recompiling (which ignores my edits). I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't figure it out. Help?

The 'make patch' target is what I was missing, I was blowing past that with an initial 'make', and then getting stuck in various 'deinstall; reinstall' loops. I'll post back if I have further problems, but I suspect this is the answer I needed.

Something like: make clean extract make your changes to source in 'work' dir make install should work fine (this worked ok for me with imap-uw). Won't work with all ports, particularly if there are freebsd port patch files that are applied in the make process (found in the port's 'files' directory). -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ports(7) manpage is also quite useful to read. For this particular problem I think it would actually have been more helpful than the Porter's Handbook. -- Insert your favourite quote here.
