this probably would have been noticed anyway, unless there is something very
strange on my system, and i did everything by the book (manual).
ports(7) leads me to believe this should work, particularly /etc/mk.conf
In the following list, each target will run the preceding targets in
order automatically. That is, build will be run (if necessary) by
install, and so on all the way to fetch. In typical use, one will only
run install explicitly (as normal user, with SUDO defined in
/etc/mk.conf), or build (as user), then install (as root).
if SUDO is unset, or set but not exported, 'make' works, 'make install' fails.
if SUDO is exported, or set in mk.conf, 'make' fails, but 'make install' works.
running everything as root breaks other things (see end), though that is
probably intended.
everything has to be installed manually, which is a PITA for most ports, or
run as root, which has its obvious problems, and still breaks on some things
(groff). as it is i cannot chain build dependences (except as root, mostly).
