Then I misunderstood the handbook, chich says: "To avoid this when there are many dependencies, first run make config-recursive to do the configuration in one batch." I understood this as the configuration is done on all the dependencies as well. The handbook also writes: "Tip: When using config-recursive, the list of ports to configure are gathered by the all-depends-list make(1) target. It is often recommended to run make config-recursive until all dependent ports options have been defined, and ports options dialog(1) screens no longer appear, to be certain all ports options have been configured as intended." Does this mean if I run config-recursive several times in a raw, all the dependencies will be configured? ... > Fourth (and, you'll be glad to hear, finally) some ports are interactive > for reasons beyond options.

Yes I meant only the given port and its dependencies, not the all ports.
