Using pkg with build options

[Matthew Pherigo]

Also, I should note that, regarding the original packages with Gnu Make needs: If you can, you'll definitely want to get the ports versions of the tools you need, if it all possible. But, the ports collection has Gnu Make for you to use if necessary...

pkg install gmake
gmake install... etc

The point of poudriere is that your poudriere server compiles the packages with custom options that you want, and then acts as a package repository to the rest of your computers. Thereby, you'll only be compiling your packages once (unless you're dealing with different architectures, which is a whole other issue). So, if you only have one computer, it won't save you any time, but the time you save goes up exponentially with how many other computers of the same architecture you have.
