Adding configuration arguments

J

jaymax

Using the ports to install software, I believe I can do ==> make arg1, arg2, ..., argn, make install, make clean &
to overide defaults or add options, if I am correct.

Now, how can I get a listing of these options without download the program and doing a ./configure --help , or ?. And does this give a listing of the default settings. I've looked at the Makefiles but they do not seem to quite do it adequately.

Thanks!
 
In /usr/ports/databases/mysql60-server

For mysql this list seems rather sparse, recommended config display didn't show up anything really. I'll probably have to go through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk (rather long document) and the Porter's Handbook. Just thought I might have been doing something inadequately.

Ex. Was expecting the InnoDB option but
Code: 
machine1# grep -in InnoDB Makefile
machine1#
machine1#

showed nothing!


Code: 
machine1# pwd
/usr/ports/databases/mysql60-server
machine1# make config
===> No options to configure
machine1#
machine1# make showconfig
machine1#
machine1# make -f config


Listed in Makefile ==>

Code: 
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --localstatedir=/var/db/mysql \
                --infodir=${PREFIX}/info \
                --mandir=${PREFIX}/man \
                --with-zlib-dir=/usr \
                --without-debug \
                --without-readline \
                --without-libedit \
                --with-libwrap \
                --with-low-memory \
                --with-comment='FreeBSD port: ${PKGNAME}' \
                --enable-thread-safe-client
