The specific one is the imap-uw port, but it's a more general question. I need to be able to download and expand the distribution file, then to perform some source code modifications, and then compile and install the port. It seems that whichever sequence of make targets I try, I end up either wiping out the existing source code and re-expanding the distribution (which wipes out my edits); or simply reinstalling the already-compiled binaries without recompiling (which ignores my edits). I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't figure it out. Help? KeS
