    Hello,

    I have installed FreeBSD and have been running it for about two weeks now.

    I had been using the ports collection to install software. I must have
    done something that has changed the environment but don't know what.

    Now when I go into a ported directory and attempt to make, it says:
    make: no target to make.

    When I try make install it says:
    make: don't know how to make install. Stop.

    Many of the files in the ports collection now have a ',v' after them
    i.e. 'Makefile,v' 'pkg-plist,v' and Attic etc.

    Anyone with any insight would be appreciated?

    Thanks,
    Ben
