Anyway, you can always check which options had been in use when building and installing a port: % cat /var/db/ports/png/options # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for png-1.4.8 _OPTIONS_READ=png-1.4.8 WITH_APNG=true In this example you can see that it has been properly installed. > the install of freebsd fails w/ the error message given below.

I'm sure this entry of /usr/ports/UPDATING applies: 20120531: AFFECTS: users of graphics/png AUTHOR: din...@freebsd.org The PNG library has been updated to version 1.5.10. Please rebuild all ports that depend on it. I built Firefox 14 a couple of days ago and png installed is now version 1.5.12. So an updated ports tree should incorporate that change now shouldn't it. true, but from what i have been able to sniff out on my own, ports configuration data are stored in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree, so that if png has been installed already & you do a "make showconfig" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the data are read from files in /usr/local/include, & if you run "make config" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the files affected by any change are in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree. this has been a learning experience for me & prolly will continue to be as others here correct me. david coder ___ it's happened already: in another post here, polytropon gives a more central role to /var/db/ports/png/options. if i understand him correctly, "make showconfig" executed in /usr/ports/graphics/png reads from that file. changes made through "make config" change both that file & files in /usr/local/include & subdirectories thereof. please correct me if i'm wrong. david coder ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You read the ports(7) man page carefully, and follow the instructions in there. Especially the bits about 'make config'.

Port Configuration
The first time one builds a port (i.e. php5), a selection of different modules or optional compatibility is shown to the user (i.e. apache module). At this point one would make the appropriate selections and continue with this build. However, I have noticed, if a mistake is made, and you decide to deinstall and reinstall the application, there is no such dialog screen again. You are stuck with your old choices. I have dried to delete the whole port and reinstall it. However, it still does not give you the dialog box that allowed you to make the initial selection. How do I fix this?

For those ports that support a 'make config' target, you can always use 'config-recursive': # cd /usr/ports/category/foo # make config-recursive There are some ports that don't support 'config' though, so you may have to create a local customization set of options in the `/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf' file.
