<p>Jsa: append inlince # comment to SUP line to indicate the step is not required</p> <hr /> <div>The file /etc/make.conf specifies all the defaults that [[make]] should use when building programs. Any changes in here will reflect globally, and specific changes can be very handy if you're going to be using the same options on a lot of builds. For example, adding <br /> WITHOUT_X11= yes<br /> to your make.conf will mean that if a port that you're building can be made without X11 options, it will be -- very handy for a [[headless_server]]. Note that in FreeBSD 7 and above the packages that are compiled moved from make.conf to src.conf. View the man page for src.conf for more information.<br /> <br /> Following the tip from [[http://simon.nitro.dk/freebsd-tips.html this page]], I added the lines<br /> <br /> SUP_UPDATE=yes<br /> SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup # override default `csup` in base<br /> SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2<br /> SUPHOST= cvsupX.us.freebsd.org <br /> SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile<br /> PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile<br /> <br /> to my make.conf, I was able to go into /usr/ports and type in <br /> # make update<br /> and update all my ports. Likewise, I can go into /usr/src and run the same command and update all my system sources. <br /> <br /> You can see what options are available to you in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf <br /> <br /> Note that you can also set compiler settings (for you Gentoo Linux expatriates) and CPU architecture in make.conf.<br /> <br /> [[Category : New_User_Tips_and_FAQs]]<br /> [[Category:Important Config Files|Make.conf]]</div>
