At the time, `make config' didn't provide that option.


You should *never* need to edit a Makefile in a port. (Well, extremely rarely.) Usually the options are provided. Optionally you can add them on the commandline like this: make -dwith_enable-foo -dwith_disable-bar. In the case of major ports such as lang/php5, the options are almost always available somehow. Jpeg support, for example, is in php5-extensions.

If you don't find something you're expecting in a port, and you can't get an answer on this list, email the port maintainer, whose email address will always be in the port's Makefile.
