I was wondering what the difference is. I just assumed 'make install' has a dependency target 'make'. > To avoid the option popups, you can do 'make > -DBATCH' instead of 'make' - this > will give you the preset defaults for each port with > options. Will I get a successful build if I interrupt my 'make install' now and do 'make -DBATCH && make install'? Or do I need to start over (make clean or somesuch)? I was greeted this morning with a prompt to install GNOKII Kaddressbook import/export for Nokia phones (so you know where I am at in the build process). Do some people really prefer to watch a slow build flash across their screen and then be prompted to install Nokia phone support? > Or you can do > 'make config-recursive' - this will present you with > all option screens for > the port in whose directory you're currently in and > all its dependencies, too > - make your choices there, then just go on with > 'make'. Perhaps you just answered my Nokia question. This may be what I'm looking for. > See 'man ports' for more information. I definitely learned some new things here thanks. I thought "man" was only for commands and 'man ports' never crossed my mind. The cool part is I'm writing you from FreeBSD, X Windows, Firefox while the kde3 build is in progress.
