how to: reset make

[sidney6]

I didn't get the options selected correctly, in the make process, while installing from the ports collection. How do I tell it to disregard what has previously been done, and restart the process with a clean slate?

I did read the manual for make, but I didn't see it.

Thanks,
sid

cd into the port directory and run

make config

To reconfigure. Then just compile and install like normal.


If you have the port installed already you may need to use make deinstall && make reinstall instead of make install

Now would be an excellent time to read the ports man page. :)

Check rmconfig, showconfig etc. By default all config options for all ports are stored in /var/db/ports.


(Read man anyway ;) )
