> It works fine with WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=23 in make.conf, but I'm not sure > if you're supposed to put this option in make.conf. Either change the > menu description or make WITH_OPENLDAP_VER work. From bsd.port.mk: # Note: the distinction between the USE_* and WANT_* variables, and the # WITH_* and WITHOUT_* variables, are that the former are restricted to # usage inside the ports framework, and the latter are reserved for user- # settable options. (Setting USE_* in /etc/make.conf is always wrong). I will make a note to myself to add the text about WANT_* to the Porter's Handbook. The other variables are discussed correctly in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-options.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-depend.html (down towards the end.) mcl * Mark Linimon <linimon@lonesome.com> [2005-10-14 01:36]: > From bsd.port.mk: > > # Note: the distinction between the USE_* and WANT_* variables, and the > # WITH_* and WITHOUT_* variables, are that the former are restricted to > # usage inside the ports framework, and the latter are reserved for user- > # settable options.

I only suggest this as a workaround, certainly not a permanent solution. Since you can only have one version of OpenLDAP installed at a time, it doesn't make much sense to me to select this version in the port. If one port requires version 2.2, and another requires 2.3, you can't install them both at the same time. So having a variable to set the OpenLDAP version from make.conf (eg. WITH_OPENLDAP_VER as supported by exim) seems logical. Whether support for this should be added to individual ports or bsd.port.mk (I believe the latter does support WITH_MYSQL_VER) isn't my decision.
