If the arguments are given on the command line when invonkig make in the
port directory, they are not saved.
A mechanism (called OPTIONS) was later added to the ports infrastructure
that does save the arguments. Not all ports have been completely
converted to using options, and some arguments cannot be set with
options. But if arguments are set with the OPTIONS mechanism, you can
find them in the file /var/db/ports/<portname>/options.
Additionally, arguments can be set in /etc/make.conf. Those should look
like this:
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/povray}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_FLAGS=3Dyes
=2Eendif
This means that when make is invoked in a directory that ends in
graphics/povray, the variable WITH_OPTIMIZED_FLAGS is set.
HTH, Roland
