FreeBSD Make Make Portage Tree: Accept Default

If you compile a program from the portage tree, , most of the packages have configuration options in which I have to manually choose the options and select with Enter. If you are not in front of the Computer, the complete process stops.

With

make -DBATCH install clean

the default configuraiton gets installed on every package.

As an alternative you can do

make config-recursive

to configure everything at once. At portupgrade you must do

portupgrade --batch -apkRr

or with export BATCH=yes set this environment variable.
