Re: completly remove (or modify) a port



In the last episode (Apr 18), Ray said:
Hello all,
I have been trying to work with postfix from the ports collection.
I need to rebuild it to include mysql support. I tried
#make deinstall
but a subsequent
#make install
doesn't give me the options screen.
what is the way to either remove the stored configuration file, or to manually
pass the parameters to make. A look at the Makefile and the other files
in /usr/ports/mail/postfix didn't turn up any hints.

If you run "make config", it'll bring up the options page again. You
could also delete the cahed options file at
/var/db/ports/postfix/options and run "make".
