There may be config.status present in $WRKSRC directory (in a port directory, run "make -V WRKSRC" to find the value) if that port's make process generates such a file AND you have not run "make clean" yet. (That also means you have to compile the port yourself.) To save make arguments for future use, you could write a wrapper which would save the arguments in a file|database before running appropriate make target. Use the same wrapper to retrieve the stored arguments. Below is my attempt at such a wrapper (feel free to change) ... http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/src/sh/pmk ... to see available commands just run "pmk" without any arguments. Provide arguments to a make target as ... pmk <command> [ arg_1 arg_2 arg_3 ... ] - Parv -- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
