If you are in /usr/ports then you need to use the regular ol' Berkeley make (make). I wouldn't do a make in /usr/ports anyway unless you want to build every single port. > It makes this error (or one with a different number) on every > makefile i attempt to load... If you're doing this in /usr/ports/*/* then just use make, not gmake (GNU make). Unsurprisingly the ports tree is set up to use make.
