Unfortunately, if it's starting an entire built, this is probably what you actually need to do, as if the necessary packages had actually built, a 'make install' will immediately return to command line inside a given port.. If you're curious to see what packages are built you can: ls /usr/ports/packages/<arch>/all/ Also, if you want to go through the process manually, here's what a make install for any port actually does: make fetch make extract make patch make configure make build make package make install I'm curious though, unless you have some specific reason to use ports, why not skip the pain / hassle / time, and just use the pre-built packages? It is this process above from which they originate. Generally, unless I have a compelling reason to use a port (i.e. a missing package on a non i386 platform is usually the reason), I use the package instead.
