Re: FreeBSD newbie (not PHP newbie)

A good point Danny... :-) I'm gradually getting my head around this FreeBSD malarky, and have found the nice Make GUI in the mod_php4 port, but is there any speedy way to pass through my ./configure options from my existing PHP install? I still remain unenlightened as regards my original dilemna: is there a way to use the Ports collection to install a non-production release of PHP, e.g. a recent STABLE snapshot? Does the source code need to be patched to make it work with FreeBSD? Thanks for all your help - most appreciated! Andy p.s. my apologies - I realise this has become more of a FreeBSD issue than a PHP one...
