The command is pseudo-code, I should have mentioned this explicitely. :-) It should illustrate that "make missing" will list the packages which are required as a dependency for an installation, and then continue to install those. After the dependencies are satisfied, "make install" can be run. The approach shown should minimize the amount of stuff that has to be built from source, so that a port which doesn't have a package available will try to build _only_ that port from source, not the (often overwhelming) pile of dependencies. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
