If I want to install a port, is there somewhere I can changed the place (dir - target) where I want the port to be installed? If I want to install the very same program as the port, but from a tar-ball, can I just untar it in a directory of my choice, and it will remain and work from that directory? How about path and dependances in this last case? Is there a script to change the target here too? And what if I install a src? Do I have to do all compiling etc. by myself? In this case, is the target free to my choice? Last: Is it possible to compile a Linux program and install it in BSD? Perhaps I sound a little dumb here, but ...
