priority of make/ports options (?) -- FreeBSD Port: sysutils/portconf
Hello, I'm using portconf to set ports' knobs. Also I'm setting some general knobs via make.conf. Now I've run into this situation: - i've got WITH_GECKO=seamonkey in /etc/make.conf - yelp from new gnome 2.16 does not build with knob above. therefore in /usr/local/etc/ports.conf i set: x11/yelp: WITH_MAN | WITH_INFO | USE_GECKO=xulrunner Unfortunately it does not work as I intended -- when I `portinstall gnome2-lite` it tries to build yelp WITH_GECKO=seamonkey. :-/ How can I solve this pls ?? How can I specify a general knob and then override it for some ports ?

How can I specify a general knob and then override it for some ports ? Don't set global knobs in make.conf. Set them in ports.conf like this: *: WITH_GECKO=seamonkey x11/yelp: WITH_MAN | WITH_INFO | USE_GECKO=xulrunner That should give you the precedence that you need. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Meanwhile, when I was going to check it, I found out that I mistyped (originally) my knob -- it should be WITH_GECKO=xulrunner (not USE_GECKO) -- and it works now, too! :-) Anyway, I'm going to move port related knobs from make.conf to ports.conf (which wasn't available at the time I populated my make.conf).
