Hi,

while creating the port lang/squeak3 I stumbled about the following:

The build should be done in a separate directory which is created during
the configure step. The part of the Makefile looks currently as follows:

--------------------------- snip ------------------------------
pre-configure:
	echo "wrksrc = ${WRKSRC}"		# temporary!
	@${MKDIR} ${WRKSRC}/build
	@cd ${WRKSRC}/build

pre-build:
	cd ${WRKSRC}/build
--------------------------- snip ------------------------------

That does not ensure that the "make build" is done in ${WRKSRC}/build. A
"make" inside my ports directory results in:

--------------------------- snip ------------------------------
===>  Building for squeak-3.0pre2
cd /usr/ports/lang/squeak3/work/Squeak-3.0/build
gmake: Makefile: No such file or directory
gmake: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/squeak3.
*** Error code 1
--------------------------- snip ------------------------------

I can successfully cd to ${WRKSRC}/build and do a "gmake" there. How do I
tell the port's Makefile to do so, too?

Thanks in advance

	Roland
