make -s should work, although I've not tried it with ports. > So far I've just been doing this: > > (make install clean 2>&1) > install.log > The only problem is that it won't work with 'sudo' (can't use ">" with > sudo) so I have to login as root. You surely can use '>' with sudo. Perhaps you're not quoting the command properly, so you're actually redirecting the sudo output to a file to which the non-superuser does not have write access? sudo sh -c "ls > /foo" works as expected sudo ls > /tmp/foo works too, since /tmp is writable.
