Check "man 7 ports".
Doh. I'm blind. I've read that at least three times looking at other
stuff. Makes sense now. Thanks
especially because it's illegal to listen to MP3 in the U. S. :-)
grrrr...
5. It looks like the options which show up using sysinstall are from the
OPTIONS variable in the Makefile.
Excuse me, where exactly do you see compile-time options in the
sysinstall program? I know it can select and install packages,
but PORTS?
What I mean is the OPTIONS variable is what shows up when
make config
is done (now that I understand it a little better)
If you deal with ports, it's often useful to have a second
system / terminal / computer / ... with a web browser so you
can try to look up the meaning of options. If you don't have
that, making a selection can be hard:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Options for stupido 19.84 |
| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | [ ] CUPS Enable support for printing (requires CUPS) | |
| | [ ] GTK Use GTK backend | |
| | [ ] KDE4 Use KDE4 backend in room 101 | |
| | [ ] FUSE Enable FUSE | |
| | [ ] OPENGL Use OpenGL graphics | |
| | [ ] KLOMPATSH Use Klompatsh | |
| | [ ] RHUMBOIRE Use RHUMBOIRE backend | |
| | [ ] QUEEKNARG Enable QUEEKNARG support | |
| | [ ] ECK'N'POOT Build with COM-POO-TAIR module | |
| | [ ] SHMEER Build bindings for Shmeer and Shmeerlappen | |
| | [ ] SHLORTS Enable support for SHLORTS (requires GNOOLFS) | |
| | [x] Use nothing, go away. | |
+-+----------------------------------------------------------------+-+
| [ OK ] Cancel |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Unfortunately, lots-o-computers but only one screen :-(
Super. I've been looking for bindings to Shmeerlappen for years.
And my shlorts have needed support for a long time too.
Or is this a documentation project in the offing?
I would welcome a kind of text file that lists all the strange
names with a short description of what they are and what you
need them for, being more informative than the short "one liners"
in the options dialog.
Can someone point me at the code that puts up the menu?
