Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it. Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source catalog for hobbit. The thing that might be weird is that FreeBSD installs ports in /usr/local/[bin,sbin] by default, you'll proably end up with hobbit in /usr/[bin,sbin] if you don't install it from ports. See if you can find a configure parameter to set the install directory to where you want to install hobbit. HTH //Niclas
