How to configure a port and how to use make variables?

[m_pahlevanzadeh]

Dear all,

Suppose, I preconfigure my port such as apache22 with the make(1) command. I got a blue screen and some options, and start to compile! Everything is OK.
I have two questions:

• After configuring once, how do I configure again (the blue screen configuration)?
• How can I use options of ./configure of a source? (I mean make variables) such as: ./configure --enable-so --enable-mods-shared=all

Dear all,
After once configuration, how I configure again (such as blue screen configuration) ?

make config

Quoting some of the target arguements from /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, you can also do the following:

# config                - Configure options for this port (using ${DIALOG}).
#                                 Automatically run prior to extract, patch, configure, build,
#                                 install, and package.
# config-recursive
#                               - Configure options for this port for a port and all its
#                                 dependencies.
# showconfig    - Display options config for this port.
# showconfig-recursive
#                               - Display options config for this port and all its
#                                 dependencies.
# rmconfig              - Remove the options config for this port.
# rmconfig-recursive
#                               - Remove the options config for this port and all its
#                                 dependencies.

• How can I use options of ./configure of a source? (my mean in make variable)such as :

./configure --enable-so --enable-mods-shared=all

This is most likely in the Makefile of the port in question under the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable. The knobs you turn using the ports system typically adds or removes variables. The most correct answer if there is a variable that should be changeable is to update the port to add an option to change it or ask the maintainer to make that addition. However, I suppose in a pinch you can just add or remove an option from the Makefile yourself.
