Hi Niclas,

Thanks for trying.
After you reported it worked for you, I got more confidence on succeeding and tried various ways.

Apparently, PATH wasn't the issue.
The issue was where I extracted pkgsrc.
I had had /ports/pkgsrc as a work directory and I had failed.

After moving to other locations, like /usr/pkg/pksrc, /tmp/pkgsrc, /mnt/pkgsrc, etc
all other locations started building fine.

I don't know why /ports directory is so special but I was quite unlucky.

'bmake' wasn't an issue.  FreeBSD no longer install a 'make' as 'bmake' on 13.x.
I recall it was a long time ago...

Regards,
Hiro
