FreeBSD devil.tebokkel.com 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Thu Sep 26 05:09:56 CEST 2002     root@naya.internal.tebokkel.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DEVIL  i386      
>Description:
Having a CDPATH in the environment set to (for example) ~:/usr:/usr/local causes the building of ports (for example nessus or proftpd) to fail and also an installworld (prepared on another machine). The symptoms are the failing of build, ending in a 'Cannot cd to xxxx'.
I normally use bash2 (05b) but it also seem to occur with tcsh.
>How-To-Repeat:
export CDPATH=~:/usr:/usr/local
cd /usr/src && make installworld
cd /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd && make

>Fix:
I think _unsetting_ the CDPATH in de mk-files is advisable. At least a warning or doc-change would do the trik. I didn't look into the actual cause.
