Xterm Port

[Lydok]

I'm trying to build Xterm with Xaw3d support. Only problem is, there is no "make config" for Xterm where I can set this. Is there any way to pass configure parameters using the ports infrastructure so that I can customize the Xterm build?

This would apply to any port that needs to be passed configuration parameters but has no "make config".

Thanks!

You should modify the port Makefile.

Look for example at CONFIGURE_ARGS+= and at the if defined...

ale,

Thanks, that worked like a charm.

One follow-up question:
Will this Makefile be overwritten on subsequent ports tree updates? I use csup for updating.

Great, glad to know it.

Obviously yes.
You may want to ask to the maintainer to include your patch.
Type make maintainer in the port directory to get the address.
