Having a look at the CVS log for Mk/bsd.port.mk rev 1.455 indicates this port might need to be re-worked. Perhaps specify a static plist? In the meantime, the following workaround seems to get by: cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firebird make install make generate-plist <edit the Makefile to remove "cons-plist" as a dependency for generate-plist at the bottom of the Makefile> make deinstall make package >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
