Ummm... I went back to see your first orignal thread. I noticed that you=
=
put Makefile and others in /usr/ports/distfiles/? You should create =
'kissdx' and 'kissdx/files' (mkdir -p kissdx/files) directories. You =
should make your port looks like this:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
kissdx/
kissdx/Makefile
kissdx/distinfo
kissdx/pkg-descr
kissdx/pkg-message
kissdx/files/
kissdx/files/kissdx.in
kissdx/files/<patch files>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
You should follow this below:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/rc-scr=
ipts.html
You put your 'kissdx.in' in kissdx/files/ and it will doing every thing =
=
for you as explained in rc-scripts.html.

That's ok, you can check in other ports to get good examples. One more =
that I have noticed. The 'do-install: all' should be change to =
'do-install:' without have 'all' in it. Hope it helps.
