It doesn't do it when building other ports. The documentation is wrong, I have followed the instructions in the porter's handbook and my port refuses to build properly, can't create packages, miscellaneous errors etc. $ sudo make install ... ===> Registering installation for libdssialsacompat-1.0.8a /usr/local/sbin/pkg_create: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/libdssialsacompat. $ sudo make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for audio/libdssialsacompat pkg_info: package libdssialsacompat-1.0.8a has no origin recorded ===> libdssialsacompat not installed, skipping $ sudo make package ===> Installing for libdssialsacompat-1.0.8a ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if audio/libdssialsacompat already installed pkg_info: package libdssialsacompat-1.0.8a has no origin recorded ===> libdssialsacompat-1.0.8a is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of audio/libdssialsacompat without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/libdssialsacompat. Is the handbook out of date or something? This is about as simple and bare as a port can be, just a configure script, no patches only eight or so files installed and yet it doesn't work. The rest of the ports system works fine, so I'm assuming that something major has been left out of the documentation. MC
