I missed it being added to the porters' > handbook, sorry. This is not a written rule. However, almost all other ports only use .if defined(variable) and don't depend on the values. It's commonly known and used everywhere, e.g. when helping newbies on freebsd-questions etc. (usually make -DWITH_FOO -DWITHOUT_X11 etc) Everything else is against POLA, imo. > I'm not convinced it's sucha hot idea, though. What am I supposed to do > when the operator does this: > make -DWITH_MAILDIR -DWITHOUT_MAILDIR If maildir is the default and you want to turn it off, you only check for WITHOUT_*. -DWITH_MAILDIR has no effect (since it makes no sense).
