PLIST asumes in virtually all packages that the target directory is /usr/local/whatever. /usr/share/mk/bsd.ports* sets up PREFIX and something else. The problem that cropped up is that now the makefiles do not seem to care no more. The only solution I found is to edit the PLIST files to contain @cwd /usr/local. Works, but a mess to edit all these files. Aside from that, I'd say 15% of the packages will not compile for other reasons. I'll be glad to publish the make output if anyone cares. Another comment to the decision makes; When you build the ports, you end up with ALL the packages installed. Not necessarily what one has in mind; One may want very much to build a package, but not necessarily install it on their system. Oh, if you did not catch it, it all happens on 3.0-current, as of today +/- one week. --- If Microsoft Built Cars: Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
