Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

This program is only a virtual machine emulator (a virtual machine used
by Core War assembly programs to fight). There is no "server". The
SERVER option only means that the program will not have GUI and
debugger (strange, isn't it?).

I really would like to keep this port as one (not splitted) if possible.
I tried to clear the config if it is wrong (with "make()"), with the
IGNORE variable. I have problems with IGNORE (and the "make(rmconfig)"
I tried did not worked):

# ... (OPTIONS is here)

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

.if !defined(WITH_SERVER)

# Check for incompatible options.
.if defined(WITH_X11) && defined(WITH_CURSES)
IGNORE=		You must choose between WITH_GRAPHX and WITH_X11

.endif

# ...

.endif

# ...

.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

But the IGNORE instead of cancelling the port build it only cancels the
"configure" stage (maybe this is because the inclusion of
"bsd.port.pre/post.mk" ?). It can not enter the "src" directory because
it has not been extracted.

===>  pmars-0.9.2 You must choose between WITH_SERVER, WITH_X11 and
WITH_CURSES.

===>  Building for pmars-0.9.2
cd: can't cd to /usr/home/ale/Projects/ports/pmars/work/pmars-0.9.2/src
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/home/ale/Projects/ports/pmars.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/ale/Projects/ports/pmars.

Also is it possible to call the target "rmconfig" (after the IGNORE) to
delete the configuration file if the options are wrong?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale
