Thanks Stuart,

I understand, now. Then ports(7) MULTI_PACKAGES section is wrong.


It looks like you're not properly understanding the manpage (but maybe it needs rewording).

What you are doing there is using make install as an alias do-all for fetch through install (which includes things like build, fake, and package). env SUBPACKAGE works *only* on install/deinstall. It works here for my no problem (I just tried it out with games/freeciv).
