making source code changes to a port ?
Hi folks, I have a piece of software that I want to install via the ports tree, but due to a specific custom behavior I want to add to it, I need to edit a few lines in one of the source files. Right now, I am doing the following: cd /usr/ports/category/package make install cd work/package-1.2.3/src (edit file) cd /usr/ports/category/package make deinstall make install and this works, but it is rather unelegant - can't there be a way to do this without install/deinstall/install ? that is, how can I get the port to download and unpack all the work into port/work directory but not actually install anything until I finish with the edits, ect? then after that I would go do the `make install`. Anyone ? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

There are other targets than just install, deinstall, and clean. For example, this should do what you want: cd /usr/ports/my/program; make patch cd work/program-1.2.3 vi file.c cd ../.. make install -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
