Hello, In the past I have compiled the php5-extensions from stable by simply doing:
cd /usr/ports/www/php5/extensions; make; make install Then, once the packages where generated using pkg_add to install the package from /usr/ports/packages/i386/all/ However, i noticed that before I actually did this final step the make was actually installing the dependancies of every single extensions (lots of them). Leads to want to install only the following extensions: php5-bz2 php5-curl php5-gd php5-gmp php5-mbstring php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-shmop Questions: a.) Iam confused with subpackages and flavors. Which method should apply to accomplish what I want? If its the flavors then.. Iam expected to feed it the packages I dont want ? Like: env FLAVOR="-dba -dbase -imap -ldap -mhash -ncurses -odbc -pdo_pqsql -pdo_sqlite -pqsql -pspell -sqlite -sybase_ct -xsl" make package b.) What is the use of the "informational package" php5-extensions? Thanks David
