>Description:
The install target, combined with the -j option is totally broken. This is troublesome, because if a port installs dependencies you cannot use -j to build the port.

I have tried to find out what happens in bsd.port.mk, but all I can say is, that with -j defined the port omits all such important targets as do-extract, do-patch, do-configure or do-build and heads right to do-install, even though nothing has been built.

The -j flag would be useful for SMP systems or those who use distcc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Go to a ports folder and run:
# make -j 4 install

Or go to a a ports folder that also installs build dependencies and run:
# make -j 4
