I have wondered about this as well. make config only deals with interactive options, AFAIK. make configure seems to give a bit more information, but that seems to depend on the port. For instance, apache gives lots of information about loading modules. Is it just a case of hunting down the documentation for a particular package, or is there a generic way to list available compile options? d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
