probably not. and I doubt your example works as expected. here's the first cvs log entry for xenocara/app/xterm/Makefile revision 1.1 date: 2007/04/09 19:11:43; author: matthieu; state: Exp; BSD make based build infrastructure for xterm. The autoconf based one was too painful to get working on landisk (static only). so, xterm build doesn't even use configure ... > What is the proper way to set things up so that the xenocara wrapper > scripts know to turn on those non-standard options? > > Any recommendations would be really appreciated. three answers: 1) this isn't supported. I mean, even ports don't allow you to do stuff like this, because, well, you would be using a non-standard build, which is untimately useless, if not actually detrimental, to the project. that being said, there are a few build options for base and xenocara, see mk.conf(5). 2) look at /usr/xenocara/share/mk/bsd.xorg.mk, particularly where it's running configure. 3) as you can see in the xterm example, not everything in xenocara uses configure. > Thanks, > > Connor > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
