You probably wanted something else > like 'make install clean' Odd. I know that the handbook at one time recommended "make build" and "make install" to build and install a port. In my fairly recent stable I still see it documented in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. But I can't argue with the bottom line,although I usually prefer to do a "make" (identical to "make build") first and then "make install clean". R.
