I have regular-user access to a FreeBSD box and I would like to build some software which is available through the ports tree. I downloaded the latest ports sub-dir from the ftp site and try to build it in my home directory and it doesn't work. I can't even build the simplest package, so I'm suspecting it is a result of doing this outside of /usr/ports. What is the best way to do this, i.e. is there documentation available for compiling packages outside /usr/ports? thanks, thomas -- N.
