I have copied my make.conf file into /etc - thus - /etc/make.conf however I"m not certain whether it is written correctly for my machine hence my main question.
As per the instructions on the page I was following I am attempting to do this
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
this is where the files are being copied to when I run cvsup. I apologise that the following will make this a large post
but I have included both my make.conf and cvs-supfile to see if this is where the problem is:
CVS-SUPFILE:
$FreeBSD: src/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile,v 1.26.2.11 2003/09/12 19:01:13 ceri Exp $
#
# This file contains all of the "CVSup collections" that make up the
# CVS development tree of the FreeBSD system.
#
# CVSup (CVS Update Protocol) allows you to download the latest CVS
# tree (or any branch of development therefrom) to your system easily
# and efficiently (far more so than with sup, which CVSup is aimed
# at replacing). If you're running CVSup interactively, and are
# currently using an X display server, you should run CVSup as follows
# to keep your CVS tree up-to-date:
#
# cvsup cvs-supfile
#
# If not running X, or invoking cvsup from a non-interactive script, then
# run it as follows:
#
# cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile
#
# You may wish to change some of the settings in this file to better
# suit your system:
#
# host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
# This specifies the server host which will supply the
# file updates. You must change it to one of the CVSup
# mirror sites listed in the FreeBSD Handbook at
#
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
# You can override this setting on the command line
# with cvsup's "-h host" option.
#
# base=/usr
# This specifies the root where CVSup will store information
# about the collections you have transferred to your system.
# A setting of "/usr" will generate this information in
# /usr/sup. Even if you are CVSupping a large number of
# collections, you will be hard pressed to generate more than
# ~1MB of data in this directory. You can override the
# "base" setting on the command line with cvsup's "-b base"
# option. This directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
#
# prefix=/home/ncvs
# This specifies where to place the requested files. A
# setting of "/home/ncvs" will place all of the files
# requested in /home/ncvs (e.g., "/home/ncvs/src/bin",
# "/home/ncvs/ports/archivers"). The prefix directory
# must exist in order to run CVSup.
# Defaults that apply to all the collections
#
# IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites
# listed at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup

#
# NOTE: Please would any committer updating this file also update the
# make.conf(5) manual page, if necessary, which is located in
# src/share/man/man5/make.conf.5.
#
# This file, if present, will be read by make (see /usr/share/mk/sys.mk).
# It allows you to override macro definitions to make without changing
# your source tree, or anything the source tree installs.
#
# This file must be in valid Makefile syntax.
#
# You have to find the things you can put here in the Makefiles and
# documentation of the source tree.
#
#
# The CPUTYPE variable controls which processor should be targeted for
# generated code. This controls processor-specific optimizations in
# certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying the value
# of CFLAGS to contain the appropriate optimization directive to gcc.
# The automatic setting of CFLAGS may be overridden using the
# NO_CPU_CFLAGS variable below.
# Currently the following CPU types are recognized:
# Intel x86 architecture:
# (AMD CPUs) k7 k6-2 k6 k5
# (Intel CPUs) p4 p3 p2 i686 i586/mmx i586 i486 i386
# Alpha/AXP architecture: ev6 pca56 ev56 ev5 ev45 ev4
#
# If you experience any problems after setting this flag, please unset
# it again before submitting a bug report or attempting to modify code.
# It may be that certain types of software will become unstable after being
# compiled with processor-specific (or higher - see below) optimization flags.
# If in doubt, do not set CPUTYPE or CFLAGS to non-default values.

# CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code.
# Note that optimization settings above -O (-O2, ...) are not recommended
# or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert any
# nonstandard optimization settings to "-O" before submitting bug reports
# to the developers.
# Note also that at this time the -O2 setting is known to produce BROKEN
# CODE on the Alpha platform.

# CXXFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C++ code.
# Note that CXXFLAGS is initially set to the value of CFLAGS. If you wish

# alone will remove the often needed contents of CFLAGS from CXXFLAGS.
#
CXXFLAGS+= -fmemoize-lookups -fsave-memoized
#
# BDECFLAGS are a set of gcc warning settings that Bruce Evans has suggested
# for use in developing FreeBSD and testing changes. They can be used by

#
#WARNS_WERROR= yes
