(I have gmake 3.79) The make in /usr/bin/ from the FreeBSD base system will work. The errors you're getting look as though they could come from using GNU make instead. Try unaliasing "make", or re-installing /usr/bin/make from the installation media. Ordinarily GNU make is installed as /usr/local/bin/gmake to avoid conflicts such as this. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
