Then it is set for all meta ports as well. I had to find this out the

menu configuration screen.

Yes I kinda guess that it was a make option (the small "yes" gave it
away) but how does it know what make options I what compiled in? and the
same for meta-ports, when there's crap loads of programs installed
(gnome)? For example, how would it know that I wanted to build firefox
with -O2 and newicons options? I'm guessing when installing a single
port it would be easy to look at the make file and set the make options
you want (like make FOOBAR=yes BATCH=yes install clean) but there's not
much sense in doing that for a single port install, I don't understand
how I would set the make options for a meta-port let alone even find
them all with all the ports that get installed when doing meta ports,
heck, on my computer alone theres 332 ports installed, I'm still trying
to figure them all out so I can set them in portupgrades config file,
how do I manage all this crap?? and on top of that I don't even know
what 4/5th's of those ports are even for. and why can't we have
statically linked (or what ever its called) so we don't have to install
all these f'ing build and run time dependencies and have every thing
linked to everything else, hard drive space is not an issue now a days?

If you want to install the latest version of gnome, you should cvsup
the ports tree (ports-all), then cd into the directory for the gnome
meta-port (it builds gnome and alot of associated apps) and build it,
like so:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
# make install clean
there is also gnome2-lite, gnome2-fifth-toe, gnome2-office, and
gnome2-power-tools
Make sure you set BATCH=yes or when you get home you will have a very
annoying configuration menu on your screen asking you what you want to
install.
set BATCH=yes where and what does it do with the optional make options,
esp for meta ports?
