Sure. But then you have to specify it everytime you do it. And people who are running it for the first time, without clue of this, will run into the same situation over and over again. There is a difference between the way the environment variables and commandline-options should be treated when running it in a port-directory (/usr/ports/something/blaat) and when it is in the ports-directory (/usr/ports or /usr/ports/something) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.MavEtJu.org edwin@mavetju.org | Interested in MUDs?
