I want to build port as user but install as root (and you all know, that we can't install port as user).
Then, why do we have build environment-variable option for this called INSTALL_AS_USER but not BUILD_AS_USER? Anyway, we can't install as user!
Another trouble is that when you build (as user) port which has dependencies, they are tried to be installed as user at build time (which is absurd), and don't do switch to root credentials to install, so it fails and you must go to their directories and do
recursively for each dependency at installation of which you are stuck in building main port.
That is very annoying and irrational!
Will it be fixed some day? Is there any hope?
