It would be nice if the ports make options were better documented, but you can read through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and find information on the various options. here is an example: # all-depends-list # - Show all directories which are dependencies # for this port. then cd /usr/ports/lang/ezm3/ make all-depends-list result: /usr/ports/converters/libiconv /usr/ports/devel/gettext /usr/ports/devel/gmake /usr/ports/devel/libtool15 -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
