Well, the thing is I think make.conf disappeared from /etc/defaults because there's no default defined for the system. If you take /etc/defaults/rc.conf for exemple, you can see that cron is enabled by default --> you can override this by setting it in /etc/rc.conf ; but for make.conf, there's nothing defined, everything is commented by default, so there's no overrides. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

No, I read the man page :-) I may be stupid, but I am not lazy :-)) The man page also helpfully says "This man page may occasionally be out of date" so, while it's a useful document, it is not necessarily the final arbiter of correctness. What confused me was that /etc/default/make.conf had disappeared. Other replies have made it clear that the user is free to copy /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf to /etc/make.conf, and edit as desired. What I am still unclear about is why the /etc/default/make.conf file has disappeared in 5.x. But that is a less important question. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Antoine Jacoutot Sent: Monday, 14 June 2004 17:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Default make.conf in FreeBSD 5.x?

RE: Default make.conf in FreeBSD 5.x?
Thanks, Giorgos. To clarify: yes, there's a *sample* file here, under /usr/share/examples. If I want the make.conf to actually be read and used when compiling something, I still need to move it to /etc/make.conf. Right?
