Well, since that is setting a value for CPUTYPE constant, it wouldn't work to do two in a row, I don't think. The last would override. I don't know what would happen if you did something like: CPUTYPE=i586,i386 or something like that. Probably depends on the code that is being built. But, the documentation within /etc/defaults/make.conf say you are best to not change the default value if in doubt. ////jerry > > Drew > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
