I know the correct answer to this is 'upgrade', but for various reasons this is not a realistic option for me in the short term. I have a remotely located box running 6.2. I recently performed a `portsnap fetch update` to update the ports tree, but any attempt to build a port results in errors such as Unknown modifier 'u' Unknown modifier 'u' "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk", line 259: Need an operator "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk", line 266: Need an operator Unknown modifier 'u' "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk", line 271: Malformed conditional (defined(WITH_NE:M))) "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk", line 276: Malformed conditional (defined(WITHOUT_NE:M))) Variable OPTIONS_DEFAULT is recursive. I presume this is because bsd.options.mk is no longer compatible with some key part of my system - gmake perhaps? Is there any way I can work around this to build / upgrade ports? Cheers Chris
