[GNU-Darwin-ports]problem with making ports

[Greg S. <gr...@bo...>]

This is probably a dumb question, but so far I haven't been able
to make any ports successfully on my G4 PB running 10.2.6, after
installing everything (??) from the cdrom/dvdr set.  The most common
error is

  /bin/sh: -c line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

For example, I run "make" in some directory under /usr/ports, and
first is says "kern.osreldate: No such file or directory", and then
it downloads the distfile, unpacks it, "darwinizes" it, and then
bombs out, either on the above, or sometimes "make: cannot open
makefile".

Clearly, something is not right, but I haven't been able to get
far enough into this to figure our what is going on.

Any ideas?

PS I installed the Apple developer's distrib *after* I put the
opendarwin stuff on this machine--could some necessary files have
been overwritten that way?
