No. You must accept the license before you can build the port, and you cannot interactively accept a license in non-interactive batch mode. See the commments in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licenses.mk for what to set in make.conf to automatically accept certain licenses. > > Aside from any possible impact of the license, the Makefile contains: > NO_BUILD= yes > so it ill never be packaged and redistributed. This is not an artifact of > the license and I don't know of the license would also block packaging. NO_BUILD means only that the configure and compile steps are not necessary for this port. The option you're thinking of is NO_PACKAGE. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-restrictions.html -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/
