Faced with the task of porting a huge amount of custom software to FreeBSD, I chose to chance to write an article on general Port making. I documented the exact steps taken in porting three very different kind of programs. One is just a custom program, one is GNU Configure based, and the third is just a C file. The result is called "Rolling Your Own Port." There are DVI, HTML, LaTeX, LyX, PDF, Plain Text, and PostScript versions available at http://www.wam.umd.edu/~howardjp/rollyourownport/ dor review. I would appreciate it if a few people looked it over looking for any problems you may see. Anything wrong with language, grammar, incorrect information, etc. should be sent to me so I can fix it. The actual ports themselves were submitted as ports/19906, ports/19907, and ports/19908.
