Hello, :) Please check out /etc/defaults/make.conf For examples.
Below can be used in /etc/make.conf to prevent building of programs in a build/install world. # To avoid building various parts of the base system: #NO_CVS= true # do not build CVS #NO_BIND= true # do not build BIND #NO_FORTRAN= true # do not build g77 and related libraries #NO_I4B= true # do not build isdn4bsd package #NO_IPFILTER= true # do not build IP Filter package #NO_LPR= true # do not build lpr and related programs #NO_MAILWRAPPER=true # do not build the mailwrapper(8) MTA selector #NO_MODULES= true # do not build modules with the kernel #NO_OBJC= true # do not build Objective C support #NO_OPENSSH= true # do not build OpenSSH #NO_OPENSSL= true # do not build OpenSSL (implies NO_OPENSSH) #NO_SENDMAIL= true # do not build sendmail and related programs #NO_SHAREDOCS= true # do not build the 4.4BSD legacy docs #NO_TCSH= true # do not build and install /bin/csh (which is tcsh) #NO_X= true # do not compile in XWindows support (e.g. doscmd) #NOCRYPT= true # do not build any crypto code #NOGAMES= true # do not build games (games/ subdir) #NOINFO= true # do not make or install info files #NOLIBC_R= true # do not build libc_r (re-entrant version of libc) #NOMAN= true # do not build manual pages #NOPERL= true # do not build perl.
