Read /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.perl.mk. I think mostly many of the variables contained within may be set in /etc/make.conf and can be picked up at build time by make. Particularly interesting were PERL_VERSION, PERL_PORT, and USE_PERL, for example. Reading down into the contents will point to how the variables get used. -Mike [snip] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
