quicker compile

Since gnome 2.8 has entered the ports, I know it will take a good chunk of time. The problem is there is a good chance that there will be some make options, and it will stop the compilling to ask the quiestions
Is there some way to select what options in advance so I can set every thing and tell it to compile everything before I goto bed, so when I come back the next day every thing is done.

*Assuming* you're talking about FreeBSD, have you seen this;

Sorry about that, I was talking about freebsd. I was giving upgrading gnome as an example, what about if you were installing gnome from a fresh install? Or any port that has many dependencies.

Why don't you go to the gnome site http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/. There's a link to installing gnome that tells you how to install the binary packages.
