cd /usr/ports
make index

Generating INDEX - please wait..make: don't know how to make _accessibility.describe. Stop
*** Error code 2

your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version, environment and
/etc/make.conf settings).

WRKDIRPREFIX=                   /usr/obj


FreeBSD version is FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p4


I make use of a seperate building directory /usr/obj (WRKDIRPREFIX).
When the directory /usr/obj/usr/ports exist, and it exist when building  packages from the port collection, the mentioned error occured.

WORKAROUND:
By removing the directory /usr/obj/usr/ports the cd /usr/ports && make index works.

Dennis Meijer
