Hi, I couldn't find who is maintaining postgres port so I though I could ask the question here... the port seems to ignore make arguments. I tried to to make -DWITH_JAVA="yes" -DWITH_TCL (options are approximate, but I used the correct values) but make did not in fact build tje libpgtcl and did not install java support. I had to compile libpgtcl manually and insatlled it separately. In general I feel that the power of ports system is cute misused because many ports do not provide a clear way to see all the build options and often by installing port you get the package configured the way maintainer likes it, and do not even know about other possiblities. sorry if it's offtopic, or if it's something that has been discussed millions of times... also please cc relevant messages to me as I am not subscribed thank you all mk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
