Building from source seems to have gone well enough, I made a Makefile and assorted extras to help the build but when I tested it the thing died here: Installing allegro-config to /var/tmp/allegro/bin /usr/libexec/elf/strip: /var/tmp/allegro/bin/allegro-config: File format not recognized install: wait: No such file or directory gmake: *** [install-lib] Error 70 *** Error code 2 Stop Now allegro-config is a shell script which explains the error. However being new to this port building lark I'm curious about how to avoid this happening? I feel this will probably end up being something obvious but the Porter's Handbook/Google/etc. don't seem to have anything on this, any suggestions folks?
