On a freshly installed 4.8, while trying to install the mail/imp3 port, I realised that it was impossible to define the following variable, either in tcsh or sh: re# setenv WITH_COURIER-IMAP setenv: Syntax Error. re# setenv WITH_COURIERIMAP re# re# sh # export WITH_COURIER-IMAP export: WITH_COURIER-IMAP: bad variable name # export WITH_COURIERIMAP # I just tried on 4.6.2 and it works, as well as MacOSX. The only customisation this system has received is CPUTYPE=p4 in make.conf, and rebuilt kernel and world after this. Everything has been normal since then. idea anyone? Raphael
