But the other thing I was thinking of is that the above is not sufficient for some ports. In some cases, you also have to 'cd' into the directory of the port before doing the `make'. Eg: (32) cd (33) make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME "/usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile", line 18: Could not find /root/../zsh/Makefile make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue (34) cd /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack (35) make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME zsh -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
