Taking an arbitrary post, it appears that make.conf is not always the best place since this sets options globally. But thanks, I have now learned how to get my ports compiled with support for a4 paper and _not_ letter :-)


While that is true, you can also set options for individual ports.

Could you please give some detail about setting options for individual ports in make.conf? Maybe I missed something in 'man make.conf' or 'man ports' but everything seems to refer to global options. The only example I've found is in man portmanager, but I'm still a little unsure about the how to do it properly.
