Ahh, just use binary packages. I hate any kind of building from sources. FreeBSD has a fake IPS pkg, also named pkg, but more inspired from similar Linux technology (apt, pacman,...) than the original IPS pkg. It's easy to use, though. From the manual I saw it's more simple and much easier to understand than our IPS pkg.
