Hi! I was installing some stuff in my ports and I was wondering why the 'make install' was trying to install even thought the port was _already_ installed??? It compiles all and at last, when it comes to installing the port itself, it checks if it is installed! What I did is a 'make fetch' of all my ports/audio dir while I had the time. But some of the packages were already installed. At that point it didn't cause problems, the make was just skipping the packages that were already downloaded/installed. But later I tried to make install, and it stopped at the first (amp) after compiling all the port, because I cleaned it after installing it before. So I specified FORCE_PKG_REGISTER on the commandline to make them all install, but then it really installed and compiled all the ports that were already installed!!! Why isn't it a file like work/.configure_done for the install?! Or why won't the install target checking for the package in the database??? Thanks a lot, and sorry if this is not clear... +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
