Dear All,
I am following

in an attempt to create a very simple port (MenuMaker) I keep getting the

What am I doing wrong? I am getting exactly the same mistake on Current and
4.3 Release.
Are you sure the tarball is not corrupt? try to extract it manually.
Have a look at EXTRACT_CASES in bsd.port.mk [(5)] to see what make
extract really does.
The tarball was corrupt. I was shocked to find it out as I have compiled
manumaker on half dozen times manually but I learn my lesson now.
Thanks

Best,

P.S. $ more mk.conf
SUDO=/usr/bin/sudo
PLIST_DB=${PORTSDIR}/plist
WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/ports
