>Description:
When building the nvidia-driver port for the first time, it displays
an options menu including Linux support, FREEBSD_AGP, etc. The menu
does not appear on subsequent builds, making it difficult to change
any installed options.
"make clean"
and
"rm /usr/ports/distfiles/NVIDIANVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667.tar.gz"
didn't help.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build nvidia-driver port. kldunload nvidia, make deinstall, make clean
and run make again.
>Fix:
I don't know how to fix the problem, but to work around it, one
can run "make clean", "make extract", and then edit
work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667/src/nv-freebsd.h
before running "make" or "make install".
For example, to enable FREEBSD_AGP (which greatly improves performance)
run "make extract", then before building, edit
work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7667/src/nv-freebsd.h, changing
#undef NV_SUPPORT_OS_AGP to #define NV_SUPPORT_OS_AGP, and then
run make.
