I've got two FreeBSD 5.4 machines. One is a server, the other is a

I've mounted on the desktop the /usr/ports directory from the
server. My idea being that I could share the one /usr/ports
directory amongst my machines and save disc space, and also save
having to recompile everything whenever I install a port.
My problem is that, if I do a "make" on one machine, I can't then do
a "make install" on the other machine. (When I try, nothing happens)
I haven't mounted any of the directories from under /var/db (e.g.
pkg, ports)
Is what I'm trying to do possible ?
If so, what am I missing or doing wrong ?
What if You do "make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES install" on the client
machine?
Hmm. No joy. Just the same, nothing. :-(
Then I suggest You doing "make package" instead of "make install" and
then You will get a file called ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}.tbz. This is
a simple package file, You can install this with "pkg_add filename.tbz"
on all machines You want.
