portmaster - correcting make options

I'm using portmaster to install editors/openoffice.org-3 and ran into an issue. While running portmaster, one of the recursive (albeit optional) deps for OO is seamonkey-1.14. In hind's sight, I would prefer to remove it.

I read the full man page on portmaster, but haven't been able to figure out how to integrate an rmconfig-like command. # portmaster --force-config editors/openoffice.org-3 doesn't help.

I even thought something like # portmaster editors/openoffice.org-3 -m rmconfig-recursive but -m must have another use.

I went ahead and did a manual # cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/ && make rmconfig-recursive but when I rerun # portmaster editors/openoffice.org-3, I'm not still not prompted with any options.

How do I go about resetting optional port dependencies when running portmaster?

Thanks!
 
The "problem" is with the port, otherwise --force-config should be sufficient.

See the Makefile
Code: 
.if !defined(WITHOUT_MOZILLA)
SEAMONKEY_VERSION=	1.1.14
SEAMONKEY_SOURCE=	seamonkey-${SEAMONKEY_VERSION}.source.tar.bz2
DISTFILES+=		${SEAMONKEY_SOURCE}:mozsrc
USE_GNOME+=		libidl
.endif

...so, you have to define WITHOUT_MOZILLA. :)
 
Thanks for the prompt reply. So are you recommending something like...

# portmaster --force-config editors/openoffice.org-3 -m WITHOUT_MOZILLA

Given the above command works, I'd still like to know if portmaster can be manipulated to strip the previously saved make config options.
 
Code: 
# setenv WITHOUT_MOZILLA
# portmaster --force-config editors/openoffice.org-3

This will not remove your config. You will [re]select options for each port even if there is already a saved configuration.
 
This is an issue with the OpenOffice port, and not with portmaster.

The Mozilla deps are not part of the OPTIONS dialog for OpenOffice. Thus, no usage of the --force-config argument to portmaster, or make config in the port will allow you to change the Mozilla options. These are hard-coded into the Makefile, requiring the use of make options on the command-line, or setting make variables in /etc/make.conf.

It works. Thanks!
