Something as simple as this:
.if !defined(_INCLUDE_USES_SYSTEM_SOURCES_MK)
_INCLUDE_USES_SYSTEM_SOURCES_MK= yes
.if !exists(${SRC_BASE}/Makefile)
IGNORE= This port requires the system sources installed at ${SRC_BASE}
.endif
.endif
Is there still a need to check for kernel sources separately? I would
imagine that everyone checks out the whole src tree now.
