Out of curiosity, WHY should any make install in ports actually DO anything? Seems like the object of ports is to make packages and packages are installed by pkg_add. If you want to be something, say a packager, it helps if you have at least a slight clue what it is all about.

It does compile. I honestly think something has been missed. As for my confused posts, well, it happens I'm not perfect, but it has little baring on anything.
