That looks like a flaw in the way the Porter's Handbook is converted
into HTML.
There isn't a variable 'WRKDIRPREFIXPORTSDIR' [*] as the PH apparently
claims there is. Instead there are two variables:
${WRKDIRPREFIX}
${PORTSDIR}
So: taking the www/apache22 port as an example, and setting WRKDIRPREFIX
to a distinct value as it's usually empty, we see:
% cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
% setenv WRKDIRPREFIX /usr/obj
% make -V WRKDIRPREFIX
/usr/obj
% make -V PORTSDIR
/usr/ports
% make -V WRKDIR
/usr/obj/usr/ports/www/apache22/work
So you can see that ${WRKDIR} is composed as:
${WRKDIRPREFIX}${PORTSDIR}/www/apache22/work
All the $-signs and other punctuation seems to have gone missing from
that section in the PH.
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] Nor indeed WRKDIREPREFIXPORTSDIR, but that was probably a typo.
