After updating with portsnap, I am getting an insufficiently-helpful
error message:
On FreeBSD before 6.2 ports system unfortunately can not set
default X11BASE by itself so please help it a bit by setting
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in make.conf. On the other hand, if
you do wish to use non-default X11BASE, please set variable
USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE.
* Am I correct in *guessing* that "make.conf" refers to
/etc/make.conf?
* What is the value of LOCALBASE? I'm not finding any
definition, or other reference, in /etc/make.conf.
* How do I figure out whether I should set USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE?
* Why does it even need this? The port I am trying to install
ATM (portmaster, to get a handle on the dependency maze) has
nothing to do with X11.
In case it matters, I have not upgraded to the modular Xorg, and
would prefer not to go through all that. "It ain't broke ..."
