However, (I've looked through the man pages, and I'm not clear on this,
forgive me if it's a stupid question)

Suppose he has WITH_RUBY defined in /etc/make.conf.  Now, the subversion
Makefile has something like .if defined WITHOUT_RUBY blah blah.

Can he do make -DWITHOUT_RUBY install for that one port
(/devel/subversion) and keep it for all other ports?



What am I missing?

Thanks for you patience and help with this.
