Hello Paul,

thanks very much again, but that seems not to be working for me. My 
approach is slightly simpler than yours. My make conf:

$ cat /data/admin/build/vbox/make.conf
#

MAKE_SHELL?=sh

SRCCONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/src.conf
SRC_ENV_CONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/src-env.conf

KERNCONF=VBOX

WITHOUT_MODULES=linux

PORTSDIR=/clutter/ports
WRKDIRPREFIX=/clutter/work
DISTDIR=/clutter/binpkg
-----

So here I am obviously referencing to another src-env.conf:

$ cat /data/admin/build/vbox/src-env.conf
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/clutter/obj/vbox

-----

Still, when calling my above command:

$ make -D __MAKE_CONF=/data/admin/build/vbox/make.conf -j 4 buildworld

the obj dir is being created below /usr and not, where it should go, below:
/clutter/obj/vbox.
So it appears at least, my make.conf is not being used.

I've also tried to export __MAKE_CONF in the shell I am calling make 
buildworld. Should be equivalent to your env command. Using /bin/sh, not 
csh.
No change here, however. On 14 Beta-4, but that should not matter.

Thanks

Ede
