	FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE Ports System

>Description:

	The Current skill-4.0 port  
	$FreeBSD: ports/sysutils/skill/Makefile,v 1.11 2000/09/17 18:53:42 ade Exp $
	Fails to build, due to the bundled Config script failing to identify
	the OS type correctly in the case where the word FreeBSD doesn't
	occur in the first line of the /etc/motd.  This Config script is not
	needed since the appropriate values are already placed in the
	Makefile by patch-aa.


>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/sysutils/skill; make 
	
	===>  Configuring for skill-4.0
	Config: unknown system type: unknown
	===>  Script "Config" failed: here are the contents of "config.log"
	cat: config.log: No such file or directory
	*** Error code 1



>Fix:

	Problem can be solved by removing the following from 
	/usr/ports/skill/Makefile

	HAS_CONFIGURE=		yes
	CONFIGURE_SCRIPT=	Config

	pre-configure:
		@${CHMOD} a+x ${WRKSRC}/Config

	Since the values generated by the Config script are already patched into 
	the Makefile

	this can be done buy applying the following patch

*** Makefile    Tue Sep 26 11:15:47 2000
