Ni, I didn't. Do you know what value to set it/them to? Do I need to set these in advance of running portinstall or make install clean or do I set them as part of the command line, eg make -Dknob=foo install clean It's possible you are assuming more knowledge than I actually have :-) I suspect you are suggesting I do a manual compile/install outside of the FreeBSD ports/pkg system which is something I've never done before. I seem to vaguely remember looking for info in the past when installing stuff on FreeBSD and coming across lots of Linux based help taking about running ./configure before make but that's something the ports system normal does in FreeBSD so isn't something I'm familiar with. It's more years than I care to remember since I last wrote real software with compilers and linkers and stuff. Primitive IDE's were only just starting to appear with things like Turbo C and the like to give you an idea of just how long ago I mean :-) Thanks. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
