It is highly unlikely you would need to do anything to the Makefile. You can place the configuration options in /etc/make.conf, or in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you use portupgrade, exactly as any other port. For example, I use the following in pkgtools.conf in the MAKE_ARGS section: 'apache-2*' => [ 'WITHOUT_IPV6=1', 'WITH_AUTH_MODULES=1', 'WITH_LDAP_MODULES=1', 'WITH_MISC_MODULES=1', 'WITH_PROXY_MODULES=1', 'WITH_THREADS_MODULES=1', 'WITH_SUEXEC_MODULES=1', 'WITH_DBM=bdb', 'WITH_BERKELEYDB=FreeBSD', ], > Not sure though: but aren't a lot of those options also settable in > the apache config file ? it might be a better idea to check that out > first, so if you ever change your mind about a setting you don't have > to recompile your intire apache2 port. AFAIK, You can use the apache config file to leave out a module which you have compiled, but you can't make use of a module which you haven't compiled. --Alex PS Simply reading /usr/ports/apache22/Makefile would have answered your question about how to set which modules to use.
