Oops! Yeah. It helps to get the right command!
But the other thing I was thinking of is that the above is not
sufficient for some ports. In some cases, you also have to 'cd'
into the directory of the port before doing the `make'. Eg:
(32) cd
(33) make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME
"/usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile", line 18: Could not find
/root/../zsh/Makefile
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
(34) cd /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack
(35) make -f /usr/ports/shells/zsh+euc_hack/Makefile -V PORTNAME
zsh
