Recently, I tried building a port, and got the following:

===>  fvwm95-2.0.43a : Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You
need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the
instructions.

My version info is:

iridium# uname -a
FreeBSD iridium.hgs.yale.edu 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #2: Thu Feb 25
23:20:33 EST 1999  do33@iridium.hgs.yale.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/IRIDIUM 
i386

Is it better to use the upgrade kit, or should I make world? If make world
is the better option, is the upgrade process the same as doing it in
2.2.x, i.e. make changes to /etc, then make buildworld, make installworld? 

Also, I notice some people were saying they were using the DNOAOUT flag.
Is it necessary to set that when doing a make buildworld on a 3.1-S
system?

Thanks.
Dennis
