Questions regarding /etc/make.conf
I'm curious - I have an AthlonXP cpu, and I seen on several posts where people have listed, CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp in /etc/make.conf. My question is this, what are the ramifications if I added that to my /etc/make.conf now, after my current device has had nothing in the before mentioned file. How might the above effect pre installed/compiled apps be effected. Also - where can I find valid CPUTYPE? parms so I ensure I use the correct one. In addition, if I add some of the tweaks such as CFLAGS= -O -pipe COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe to /etc/make.conf - would there be any impact in pre installed/compiles programs after the fact. -- Best regards, Chris -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

No, nothing you put into make.conf will affect already installed software. This file is for setting build-time options, and as such will only affect subsequent software builds. And yes, rebuilding and reinstalling a package you already have qualifies as a subsequent build. As for valid CPUTYPE values, have you checked out the manpage? man make.conf I'm pretty sure I've seen it in there somewhere.

Perhaps I might consider recompiling WM's such as Gnome? Or worry about that when there is an upgrade and deal with it then via portupgrade?

RE: Questions regarding /etc/make.conf
Don't worry about recompiling everything right away. Gnome takes a long time to compile! The cpu type does seem to help multimedia apps and WMs if they were designed to take advantage of the extra instructions. I usually get a machine up and then change the cpu type after I have the basics worked out. Eventually after buildworlds and portupgrade I get everything built with the new settings. It works out fine. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
