as three separate steps.</para>
<para>When installing a port, using only <command>make
<maketarget>install</maketarget></command> from the
beginning means there will potentially be many waiting
periods between user interaction as the default behaviour
is to prompt the user for options. When there are many
dependencies, this sometimes makes building a single port
a huge hassle. To avoid this, first run <command>make
<maketarget>config-recursive</maketarget></command> to
do the configuration in one batch. Then run
<command>make <maketarget>install
[clean]</maketarget></command> afterwards.</para>
