Emacs without X?

[clevershark]

Does anyone know a good way to install emacs *without* X on FreeBSD 7? There's no emacs-nox package, and neither the emacs or emacs21 port seems to be configurable via 'make config'.

[corey_james]

in /etc/make.conf put
WITHOUT_X11=yes

then compile emacs21 using the standard 'make install clean' method


edit: Or you could do
# WITHOUT_X11=yes make install clean

[phoenix]

# cd /usr/ports/editor/emacs
# make -DWITHOUT_X11 install clean

or

# make WITHOUT_X11=set install clean

If the WITHOUT_X11 make variable is set (doesn't matter what it is set to), then the port will not build with X11 support.

Adding WITHOUT_X11=whatever to /etc/make.conf will tell all ports in the tree to build without X11 support.

Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated!
