=46irst off, don't do that. First do 'make', then do 'make install' (yes, t=
he=20
handbook says you just do 'make install' - it's wrong). You can also do bot=
h=20
in sequence: 'make && make install'.

To avoid the option popups, you can do 'make -DBATCH' instead of 'make' - t=
his=20
will give you the preset defaults for each port with options. Or you can do=

'make config-recursive' - this will present you with all option screens for=
=20
the port in whose directory you're currently in and all its dependencies, t=
oo=20
=2D make your choices there, then just go on with 'make'.

See 'man ports' for more information.
