port make?

[John B Brown]

Dear Ryan,

	So it resides under the subdirectory /opt/local/var/macports/build/ and the 
branch under that tree varies with the port file being worked. In the case of 
zlib it is:

ll `port work zlib`
total 56
drwxr-xr-x   6 macports  admin    204 Dec  4 12:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x   3 macports  admin    102 Dec  4 12:41 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 macports  admin  22800 Dec  4 12:41 .CC_PRINT_OPTIONS
-rw-r--r--   1 macports  admin    235 Dec  4 12:41 .macports.zlib.state
drwxr-xr-x   3 root      wheel    102 Dec  4 12:41 destroot/
drwxr-xr-x  98 macports  admin   3332 Dec  4 12:41 zlib-1.2.5/

	Thank you. My settings are for no cleaning so all the sources remain in their 
${worksrcpath} for the time being.

	Shalom,

	John B. Brown.

Better would be a full definition for ${workpath}. Do these things exist under `build' or `source' or `distfiles' or where? I'm not talking some esoteric locations here.
