From: Tony Finch To: dot@dotat.at, freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/24711: ${MAKEFILE} causing trouble with ports Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 12:39:18 GMT I have worked out the exact problem now: it manifests when /usr/obj/`pwd` exists when you type make in a port. I tripped over this problem by setting WRKDIRPREFiX to /usr/obj -- there is no way this will work. The fix for the problem is still to rename the MAKEFILE variable in bsd.port.mk and all the ports that use it; the workaround is to avoid creating the troublesome directories under /usr/obj.
