Hi all!

I must say that during my investigation in the issue why Xaw3d won't build on
my 2nd system I have learned quite a bit more on how the ports collection
works. It's really neat stuff! But I still didn't actually find out what's
causing my problem.

Maybe you've been following this issue. I'll explain it again in short form.
Also included below is a captured version of the (beginning) of the output I
get when I try to make Xaw3d.

After having successfully built Xaw3d on my first machine, I tried it on my
second one, where it did not work. Both machines run 4.0-STABLE, updated last
weekend. The second machine where the build of Xaw3d fails was again updated
today (...thought that might solve the problem ;-). The only difference between
the two machines is that the second machine with the problem had the
34upgrade.tgz package installed when it was STILL running 3.4-STABLE (I have
now removed that package with pkg_delete -f).
When I try to build and install Xaw3d on that machine, I get some strage message
(see below) and I notice that while Xaw3d.a is present in /usr/X11R6/lib, while
Xaw3d.so.6 is *not*.

Here's what the first part of my building process looks like:

tempest# make 
===>  Extracting for Xaw3d-1.5 
>> Checksum OK for Xaw3d-1.5.tar.gz. 
===>   Xaw3d-1.5 depends on shared library: X11.6 - found 
/bin/mkdir -p /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d/work/xc/lib/Xaw3d/X11/Xaw3d 
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d/work/xc/lib/Xaw3d/X11/Xaw3d; /bin/ln -sf ../../*.h . 
===>  Patching for Xaw3d-1.5 
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for Xaw3d-1.5 
===>  Configuring for Xaw3d-1.5 
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config 
make Makefiles 
make includes 
$(_NULLCMD_) expands to empty string 
$(_NULLCMD_) expands to empty string 
$(_NULLCMD_) expands to empty string 
$(_NULLCMD_) expands to empty string 
+ mkdirhier ./exports/include/X11/Xaw3d 
+ cd ./exports/include/X11/Xaw3d 
+ rm -f AllWidgets.h

This output originates from the configuration process. But during both the
build and install process, the message $(_NULLCMD)... repeats several times.
I can only assume that this means that some string that comes from some file in
/usr/share/mk (or somewhere else) is "not really there" for some reason. 

I hope that someone has maybe an assumption what's failing here...

Greetings,
Nils
