Re: How do I make install clean a port in the background
A good ideea would be to build screen static. In case you update your system, it is possible that the libraries on which screen depends might be deleted. To do so # make CONFIGURE_ENV=LDFLAGS="-static" build # make install that will create a binary screen which is not dynamically linked with the libraries. and of course don't forget man screen That's neat! Didn't know you could do that. Is the option CONFIGURE_ENV=LDFLAGS="-static" something you can use for any port to compile it statically?

I used screen once when updating the system remotely and I was locked out because of some libraries problem. I had to physically go to the machine to get back in and finish what I was doing. Thanks for the tip.

The /output/ - stdout and stderr, file descriptors 1 and 2 - are still connected to the terminal. If you really want to make the output vanish, try: make install clean >& /dev/null & for (t)csh and (I think): make install clean 2>&1 /dev/null & for (ba)sh. My personal practice when compiling is not to direct all output to /dev/null. If the 22 hour build of OpenOffice blows up, and the output has vanished, you may have to start over. Instead, send it to a log file which can then be discarded if everything goes well.

In case you update your system, it is possible that the libraries on which screen depends might be deleted.

A solution could be "make install clean >/dev/null &", but I'm sure that it not will be very wise, I dont know what happens if a config screen shows up, and next point is if you get a fault, it's gone with /dev/null. Why don't you just use another tty?

I don't know the analog for other shells. That's only going to help so much. Most ports are going to generate compiler warnings that go to stderr, which will still spam your screen. First off, I recommend directing to a file instead of /dev/null. That way if it fails, you have the output to review. Secondly, redirect both standard out and standard error.
