How is installing ports without 'dialog4ports'?

[Lifeonfull]

Is dialog4ports mandatory to install ports, or can you install ports and their options without it?

 

[talsamon]

man portmaster:

-G  prevents 'make config'

or

BATCH=yes

in /etc/make.conf.

Heh, I never knew about the -G. (Though most of the time these days, if I'm building from a port, it's because I need something in the config.) I knew the batch one, but not the -G. Thank you.
