Tim, Here's a start. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to fix the rest of the bits; I at least got you past the fun sites change in the extract part, but the path for ${_DB_D} with what's setup in the Makefile differs from reality (the current path is: ${SOURCEFORGE_SITE}/project/dixit/dixit_qdb/dixit.qdb.tar.bz2 , not ${SOURCEFORGE_SITE}/project/dixit/dixit/10.4/dixit.qdb.tar.bz2 ); you probably don't want to pull the potentially out-of-sync zip file from ftp*.freebsd.org , especially because we can decompress a tarball natively without installing archivers/unzip . I've trimmed out a lot of the fud, but you'll probably have to do some hacking to get the project to work with QT3 or QT4 (hopefully the latter). The porter's handbook [1] is your guide as well as make(1) [2]. After that, run `make makesum all install ' . Submit a PR with the diffs for all of the files if it works to your liking. Good luck, -Garrett [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ [2] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=make&apropos=0&sektion=0&format=html
