Technically, what you're asking about is make targets. These are defined in, and completely dependent on, the makefile, not make itself. Within the ports tree, a system of makefiles provides the targets you list above and others. A complete list is in ports(7). You can also read the makefiles themselves. make(1) will help you decipher them. -- Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
