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(7) man page.

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


(Read man anyway )
