I've got two FreeBSD 5.4 machines. One is a server, the other is a

I've mounted on the desktop the /usr/ports directory from the
server. My idea being that I could share the one /usr/ports directory
amongst my machines and save disc space, and also save having to
recompile everything whenever I install a port.
My problem is that, if I do a "make" on one machine, I can't then do a
"make install" on the other machine. (When I try, nothing happens)
I haven't mounted any of the directories from under /var/db (e.g. pkg,
ports)
Is what I'm trying to do possible ?
If so, what am I missing or doing wrong ?
It would probably be faster to build packages and let the client
install those, but I think what you're looking for is "make reinstall".
Ah, that seems to be doing something..
Thanks !
