Sorry I forgot ... I thought this question was coming.
In my case "make" simply returned without doing anything;
no error messages, nothing. I did some minor mod to the
Makefile and it appears the Makefile was parsed and it
was parsed correctly.
I was installing the ports as root, and my ports tree is
updated so it is the new structure. As I've mentioned
earlier, I can install some ports, just not everything and
certainly not the ones that I really need.

}My source tree is in synch with 4.2-BETA as of
}last night. Everything was rebuilt and was installed
}fine.
}
}I cannot, however, install many ports such as
}ports/emulator/linux_base
}ports/audio/xmms
}and so on.
}
}Just to verify the system is okay, I tried installing
}"xcd" and that works. Dependent packages were pulled
}in and installed. The installation was also good
}'cause I can play my music CD's as such.
}
}I read into the Makefile and seems okay. I did not
}have this problem on 4.1.1-STABLE.
}What is wrong?
