I have tried this method also but get the following errors (the mysql322 dir is /usr/local/mysql322): homer# make install "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk "Makefile", line 44: Malformed conditional (!defined(NATIVE_THREADS) && ${OSVERSION} >= 300000) "Makefile", line 53: if-less elif "Makefile", line 53: Need an operator "Makefile", line 58: if-less elif "Makefile", line 58: Need an operator "Makefile", line 65: if-less endif "Makefile", line 65: Need an operator "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue This error gives me no idea of what the problem might be.
