I think you want "make build", also documented in that man page.



Thank you Kurt. Does that mean that the porters handbook is wrong (says
it should be able to be run without root)? If so I can send a patch to
reword that. Should the advice to be to run `make build` instead then?

I don't know. You could read the Makefiles, and you could look for a knowledgeable person (which is not me) to ask about the intent.
