I use cvsup to update src/ports/doc. You need to add options to /etc/make.conf to use make update Here is my cvsup related options in /etc/make.conf - SUP_UPDATE=yes SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup # - default installation for cvsup SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 # options for cvsup SUPHOST=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org # the server to use SUPFILE=path+filename to your src_all sup file PORTSSUPFILE=path+filename to ports_all sup file DOCSUPFILE=path+filename to doc_all sup file - Try man make.conf for more details.

Re: Problem using MAKE
This sounds as if you are missing the Makefile. Do you have a Makefile in /usr/src? If not, this is your problem. The Makefile should be installed by the base package within the src distribution. To install this, you need to be root, then: /stand/sysinstall Go to Configure-Distributions-src Make sure to install the base package. When doing anything with sources you will need this, as well as the distribution that contains the appropriate sources.
