Yes, you probably do want it installed, but not necessarily on the machine doing the compiling.roddierod said:There are probably philosophical arguments for and against this, but I stand on the side that if you are going through all the trouble to compile software you probably want it installed so why take an extra step to do so?

# make package
for that. It will install the port first, yes, but you can uninstall that later. Oh, and under Arch Linux, if you're trying to build a package that has an unsatisfied dependency, you need to install that dependency on the machine that you're building on as well.Oxyd said:You can use# make package
