How to Create an OpenBSD Port and Package
Wanting to learn about porting, I am following: How to Create an OpenBSD Port and
Package from http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=2008031806
Ran into problem with:
# Install myscripts under /usr/local/.
do-install:
${INSTALL_SCRIPT} ${WRKSRC}/bin/* ${PREFIX}/bin/
${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${PREFIX}/share/myscripts/
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/share/myscripts/* ${PREFIX}/share/myscripts/
When I run make makesum, I get:
$ sudo make makesum
Makefile, line 179: Need an operator
Makefile, line 180: Need an operator
Makefile, line 181: Need an operator
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
referring to the three lines above.
How do I fix this?

Check out http://openbsd.org/porting.html too.

Erm what exactly are you trying to do? You normally don't need to use
sudo for make makesum and I think you're trying to run it in
the wrong directory. Run it in the port's directory to create
the distinfo file after you have fetched the distfiles with
make fetch.
If the software you're trying to port has been done right you
don't need to do your own do-install target
for the port. Sadly this isn't the case always.
The error you are receiving from the sudo make makesum command
is usually (always?) caused by trying to parse GNU Makefile
with BSD make. Your port probably needs USE_GMAKE=Yes.

You need to use tabs instead of spaces to indent commands
used in your Makefile rules.
do-install:
tab here${INSTALL_SCRIPT} ${WRKSRC}/bin/* ${PREFIX}/bin/
tab here${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${PREFIX}/share/myscripts/
tab here${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/share/myscripts/* ${PREFIX}/share/myscripts/
In addition to the guide at undeadly, I recommend you read
this: http://www.openbsd.org/porting.html
Good luck,
Stefan

Thanks,
that was the problem.
Cut and paste is mostly helpful ---But...
