#cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution/
# make install clean
Makefile error: there is no COMMENT variable defined
for this port. Please, rectify this.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/mail/evolution.

WTF?

Hmm, your ports tree might be out of date or maybe the file is corrupt. The Makefile should look like this:
Code:
# New ports collection makefile for:    evolution
# Date created:                         28th June 2000
# Whom:                                 Ade Lovett <ade@FreeBSD.org>

Angry work around . . .

10x mate.
I worked around that :
#pkg_add -r evolution
and it installed me version number 1.4.5
There is no MS exchange connector in there!
How come?
I had this exact same version on Linux-RH9 and it was there.

What did i ever do wrong to FreeBSD?
