But I am trying to create a new port. Unfortunately, after I recently CVSUPped my ports collection, and dowloaded and installed the latest 31upgrade.tgz, I can no longer make any port. After typing make, I get "Error: your port uses an old layout. Please update it to match this bsd.port.mk" The problem seems to be that there are several directories containing files like bsd.port.mk, some old, some new. The 31upgrade.tgz seems to have been installed in a directory that make does not know about. I tried to copy the contents of that directory (/usr/ports/Mk/) to where make seems to be looking (/usr/share/mk/), but I just keep getting other error messages. So, I guess my question is, what should I do to have make find the right files. I use "FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 15 11:08:08 GMT 1999 jkh@usw3.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386" Right now, not only can I not install/upgrade any ports, I cannot create ports for my own software and share it with others.
