Well, kind of... pkg_add will find it in the current directory if you use PKG_PATH and the package name, or explicitly name the file. Here are some sample commandlines and whether they succeed or fail. # This will always fail unless you already have PKG_PATH set # correctly in your environment. pkg_add `make package-name` # Will succeed if the package was created in the current # directory. PKG_PATH=`pwd` pkg_add `make package-name` # Will also succeed if the package was created in the current # directory. pkg_add `make package-name`.tgz # This will succeed if you have created a /usr/ports/packages # directory. pkg_add /usr/ports/packages/All/`make package-name`.tgz And so on.
