src.conf or make .conf ?

Hi,

What is the goal to use src.conf ?

When I compile my system and some applications, I use make.conf with my options.

Why and when can I use src.conf ?

I find nothing in the french handbook. Nothing more in the us hanbook.


Thanks for your help.

PS: Excuses my englih language.
 
src.conf is only used by the buildworld process, and is a simple list of things you don't want to build/install.

make.conf is used by the ports tree, the buildworld process, and (I believe) any make process that uses the FreeBSD /usr/share/Mk infrastructure.

IOW, make.conf is like a global configuration file for make, and src.conf is a local configuration file for the source tree.

make.conf is used globally as suggested before, and in make(1):

Code: 
     First of all, the initial list of specifications will be read from the
     system makefile, sys.mk, unless inhibited with the -r option.  The stan-
     dard sys.mk as shipped with FreeBSD also handles make.conf(5), the
     default path to which can be altered via the make variable __MAKE_CONF.

src.conf is used everywhere in the base src tree.

Both files can be overridden with the appropriate variables, or subsequently ignored.
