Hi,

Yes I know what you mean and where these variables are for, it's just
that the program does a runtime check for the other architectures
and I thought it would be best to mimic that.

Thanks, I'll surely need to read that; I'm not really sure if moving
a port after it's being installed should work anyway. That's the only
way which breaks it I think. I never move it and even when I should for
some reason I'll make a symlink.


Thanks for all the helpfull responses. Furthermore, I think
OpenBSD does a real good job on foreign hardware; it was a very
polished install with no suprises being it powerpc, sparc, sparc64
or i386. Nice work!

Kind regards,

Axel Scheepers
