If the port's directory does not exist, Mk/bsd.port.mk will just print "No directory for $$prog. Skipping.." and continue with the main build. The build will most likely fail somewhere down the line. If you're not actively watching/logging the build output, that will be the only indication that something went wrong. A hypothetical configure script might even work around the missing dependency and silently build an incomplete or inferior product. I suggest changing all places that do this 'skipping' thing to instead abort the build. Or at least have a way to configure this behavior (although I can't think of a reason why one would want to continue). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
