You should just set ALL_TARGET = ent in the port Makefile. No reason to add a patch. > I'd like to further simplify the make file by > removing a few things. Is that sort of thing OK? If you don't need to patch it, then don't patch it. There are several ways to override things by setting proper variables in the port, and avoiding patches is good because you don't have to maintain them (should the upstream author ever roll a new release). Please have a look at bsd.port.mk(5) (warning: that's a lot of stuff) or, for a starter, on Bernds porting tutorial at http://www.openbsd.outback.org/papers/opencon07-portstutorial/index.html Ciao, Kili
