[users@httpd] syntax error before '*' token

Does anybody know what is this error all about?

I got the same error in all combinations of these:
- freebsd 5.3 and 5.4.
- apache 2.0.53 and 2.0.54
- freebsd make and gmake

gmake[4]: Entering directory

Posted by "Gustavo A. Baratto" <gb...@superb.net>.
Thanks for the hint, but although I do use ports for most things, I found 
that for apache and php the ports dont give me as much flexibility. And 
particularly the apache port is much more difficult to use than a simple 
"./configure --tons --of --args ;make; make install"... I actually tried to 
hack

The thing is that I have always compiled apache from source in freebsd... 
First time I see this error.

Any hint?

Why don't you just use the ports tree?
