In "ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk" , it says # types of of variables. WANT_, WITH_, HAVE_ and USE_. The logic of # this is that a port can WANT support for a package, a user specifies # if they want ports compiles WITH certain features. This section tests # if we HAVE these features, and the port is then free to USE them. If I want GNOME support for all ports that support GNOME, do I have to add both WANT_ and WITH_GNOME to make.conf? If so, that ok, but in either case, +DATADIR=share must be added when HAVE_GNOME is not defined. DATADIR is used in pkg-plist, and DATADIR will be defined only if USE_GNOME if defined, or WANT_GNOME is defined && HAVE_GNOME is not. -- HIYAMA Takeshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
