Thanks! One other quick question. The utility "port" when run as: port create <name> creates a skeleton Makefile with these entries at the end: .include <bsd.port.pre.mk> .include <bsd.port.post.mk> Should I just remove them and place the ".include <bsd.port.mk>" entry in their place; or add it to the list of other includes? I cannot find any documentation specifically defining what to do. I thought I had read the Porter's Handbook thoroughly, but perhaps not. -- Carmel ✌ carmel_ny@hotmail.com
