There hardly seems to be a week go by without me reading about Yet Another Make Option that I didn't know about. There isn't, really. I tried grep ^[a-zA-Z]*: /usr/ports/Mk/* and it matched 52 lines, which means there are probably that many targets. The vast majority of them aren't useful to most users, though, so I'm not sure it would help to document them collectively. [and because you get a usable INDEX file through cvsup, I'm not sure I'd recommend "make index" to the average user] The main makefile itself has comments documenting the dozen or so most targets that an end user might actually want. Along with an awful lot of variables. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
