Why no "/etc/make.conf"???


Hello all,
yes it's me again ...
After having used Gentoo and FreeBSD for a while, I was curious about the absence of the file "/etc/make.conf" in Slackware. Anyone care to comment on this???

make.conf is a portage configuration file. If you wish to make use of different make parameters on a distribution like slackware, you have to specify it when you run configure for whatever package you are compiling. I've found the easiest way to do this is to create a script that performs this automatically, and then copying it into whatever directory you unpacked the source and running the script.
