You should 'make config-conditional' to save yourself some work. make config always shows you the dialogue, while config-conditional checks to see if the variablenames have changed and if not, just moves on using what you already have in /var/db/ports. These are the ports that will bite you: # find /usr/ports -name 'configure' -path '*/scripts/*' \ -exec grep -l '/usr/bin/dialog' {} + /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3/scripts/configure /usr/ports/japanese/typist/scripts/configure /usr/ports/misc/sonytv/scripts/configure /usr/ports/print/apsfilter/scripts/configure /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu/scripts/configure /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gpl/scripts/configure -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
