'?=3D' means 'assign if variable is not already initialised' -- so it allows ports to override your choice of settings; for instance if you wanted to install a port that only worked with an earlier version of BDB.= No, you don't need a space or tab in there at all. It's just a habit since the standard in ports Makefiles is to put a tab (or two) after all assignments so the data lines up nicely. Style only. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
