Since /usr/obj is a fairly intuitive place to put the temp files for making ports, I think it should be documented in make.conf(5) and src/etc/defaults/make.conf. ports(7) may also be a good place to put this as well. >How-To-Repeat: echo WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj >> /etc/make.conf Try building a port. >Fix: Although quite simple, these diffs should provide enough documentation so people don't get too stuck on this problem. Since 4.4-RELEASE is coming quickly, this may be a quite good MFC candidate.
