Hi, quick question..

When installing apache, i used the following

make WITH_CATEGORY1_MODULES="yes" WITH_CATEGORY2_MODULES="yes" etc.. etc

and "make install clean"

which seemed to work fine and install everything I wanted..  but when
instealling vim using the NO_GUI="yes" option, it wanted to install X when i
did "make install clean" using make NO_GUI="yes"  install clean made it
install without the gui...

So my question is, should i pass the makefile options only when running
"make" to compile the program (that would make sence wouldnt it?) or should
i use them everytime i run make as in both when doing "make" and "make
install clean".
