Just my 2c advice: try to "port" a little piece of software; this would force you to get familiar with the way the ports infrastructure work. Reading bsd.ports.mk is not exactly the easy way to get there and the porters handbook is only an intro, IMO. This way, when something goes wrong you can "debug" it yourself and see if it's an easy problem or not. I will eventually save your time, especially when in a hurry. > I was hasty in posting my question. > > > > > > http://www.lemis.com/questions.html > > > > > > Read it before. > > > >I did, I like it. > > I re-read it myself actually.
