You may already know about this, but IMHO it's so useful that it bears repeating: $ grep WRKDIRPREFIX /etc/make.conf WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj Then if you forget to run make clean after installing some ports, just: # rm -rf /usr/obj/usr/ports Setting WRKDIRPREFIX in make.conf will cause the ports tree to put all of its 'work' directories under a separate hierarchy.
