Is a read-only /usr/ports directory supported? I received the following error message during installation of x11-fonts/fontconfig (as part of a build of x11/XFree86-4): install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./fontconfig.pc /usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig /fontconfig.pc gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/work/usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig/work/fontc onfig-2.1.92' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/work/usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig/work/fontc onfig-2.1.92' ===> Generating temporary packing list cannot create /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig/pkg-install: read-only file system *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. My /usr/ports directory is NFS mounted (read-only) from another system. I have the following entries in /etc/make.conf to allow multiple clients to share the same /usr/ports tree: WRKDIRPREFIX= /usr/work (local directory) DISTDIR= /usr/distfiles (NFS mounted read-write) Is it normal for a port to try to write into /usr/ports when WRKDIRPREFIX is defined like this? Thanks in advance, Cory.
