Please, don't waste time building. Packages are available with each snapshots, just point your PKG_PATH to ftp://your.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/`arch` and update all using pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends, it works great. Manually building ports should be required only when you activated certain flavor of a port not already available in packages. And just cvsup your ports tree each time to be in sync. Landry
