I had read bsd.port.mk (and I *do* agree with your assessment of it :) ). I was not sure of the ramifications of # make CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-wrapping install clean when there are CONFIGURE_ARGS+=blah...blah..blah in the make files. In other words, when I specify CONFIGURE_ARGS= on the make command line, is that the initial value of CONFIGURE_ARGS, and all of the CONFIGURE_ARGS+= statements in the make files work as expected (i.e., appending to the command line value)? Or are the CONFIGURE_ARGS+= values in the make file wiped out by the assigment of the command line CONFIGURE_ARGS? Hmmm... as I was typing the above, I decided to try it out... Using the /www/apache13 port that was mentioned earlier, I entered the following: # make -n -V CONFIGURE_ARGS --prefix=/usr/local --server-uid=www --server-gid=www --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --with-layout=FreeBSD --without-confadjust --enable-module=most --enable-module=auth_db --enable-module=mmap_static --disable-module=auth_dbm --enable-shared=max # make -n -V CONFIGURE_ARGS CONFIGURE_ARGS=--enable-test --enable-test --prefix=/usr/local --server-uid=www --server-gid=www --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --with-layout=FreeBSD --without-confadjust --enable-module=most --enable-module=auth_db --enable-module=mmap_static --disable-module=auth_dbm --enable-shared=max So the command line invocation of CONFIGURE_ARGS seems to work as expected. Cool. I'll send a note to the handbook folk, and ask if this can be added to the ports section of the handbook. Thanks for all the help!
