I'm not quite following though; I need another Makefile within the work directory? I didn't see anything like that in the porter's handbook; did I miss or misunderstand a section? I actually do have just such a port that I've been using as an example, net/self-service-password. It doesn't build anything (though unlike mine it does have several dependencies which do build), and when I type "make stage" for it, once the dependencies are present, there is no Makefile, or any other file in the work directory that even has make in the filename (find .|grep -i make). Thanks, Joseph
