This article talks about the above error and how I corrected it. I was in the midst
of installing Lynx from the internet, when I encountered some
problems along the way.
kennett# make
"/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find
/cdrom/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
That's when I remembered I had added a Shortcut for
compiling from CD-ROM. I reversed this out and then tried again. That's
when I encountered the following error:
"/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
The solution for that error is here.
After I fixed that, I encountered a different error:
fetch: illegal option -- A
usage: fetch [-DHILMNPRTVablmnpqrstv] [-o outputfile] [-S bytes]
[-f file -h host [-c dir] | URL]
>> Attempting to fetch from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/.
fetch: illegal option -- A

*** Error code 1
Stop.
The problem was that I was using the current bsd.port.mk but an older fetch
binary which did not support the -A switch that bsd.port.mk was
trying to use. So I needed the upgrade kit as specified at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/.
Here's what I did to fix the above:
cd /usr/ports
fetch -p
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/
Latest/31upgrade.tgz
pkg_add 31upgrade.tgz
cd www/lynx
