Thanks for pointing out those details !
This whole thing about make.conf& src.conf is very confusing and gives
the
impression of something half ported ...
The only thing that is "half ported" at the moment, is an easy "use
clang to build world" switch. This will be properly addressed after 9.0
is released. As to the make.conf/src.conf confusion, it is very simple
really:
- make.conf is used for system-wide settings, applied to every build
using make.
- src.conf is used for setting FreeBSD source tree settings, which are
always of the form WITH_XXX or WITHOUT_XXX. See src.conf(5) for a
full list. Any other "make" settings, such as CC, CFLAGS, etc, are
better specified in make.conf, though the manpage does not tell you
so explicitly.
This is as I understood the manpage of src.conf. There is only a YES/set and
NO/unset.
No. There is only set and unset. WITH_option="NO" has the same effect as
WITH_option="YES".
I think this is confusing and often leads to unintended
consequences, but I and also say that some of the WITH_options documented
for src.conf (the man page is auto-generated from the code) are either
non-functional or broken. I've had some interesting issues with unexpected
interactions of WITH_options, as well. Be very careful!
Sorry being so unprecise. I meant WITH_ and WITHOUT_. I learned the hard
way that setting a variable
to "be set" is simply done by naming it.
Well, as I understand your comment, it seems that this /etc/src.conf
facilty isn't working properly yet?
