Makefile:120: *** missing separator. Stop.



As a user on a FreeBSD system (without root access) I'd like to try to
install (in my home dir, for now) mutt-1.5.19.  I want to have it use
S-Lang 2.1.4.

Fisrt off, is this even possible for me to do without root access?

(This is also the first time I've ever tried to build / compile / install
mutt.)

In any event, here's what I've done, and what I've gotten:

[shell:~]  [v4.3.9]  zsh  1210 --> ls -la /usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel
total 48K
 2K drwxr-xr-x   5 root wheel   512 Feb 20 04:35 ./
18K drwxr-xr-x 726 root wheel 17920 Apr 10 12:08 ../
 2K drwxr-xr-x   2 root wheel   512 Aug  9  2008 CVS/
18K -rw-r--r--   1 root wheel 18200 Feb 20 04:35 Makefile
 2K -rw-r--r--   1 root wheel  1793 Feb 20 04:35 distinfo

 2K drwxr-xr-x   3 root wheel   512 Feb 10 04:35 scripts/
[shell:~]  [v4.3.9]  zsh  1211 --> cd /usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel
[shell:/usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel]  [v4.3.9]  zsh  1212 --> make install clean
Makefile:120: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[shell:/usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel]  [v4.3.9]  zsh  1213 -->

The relevant part of Makefile looks like this (with line numbers):

116 PORTNAME=*......mutt-devel
117 PORTVERSION=*...1.5.19
118 PORTREVISION?=*.1
119 CATEGORIES+=*...mail ipv6
120 .if defined(WITH_MUTT_NNTP)
121 CATEGORIES+=*...news
122 .endif
123 MASTER_SITES=  [etc]

Line 120 is the first line in the file that begins with a dot.
Can / should line 120 be edited /modified /fixed?

Am I doing any of this correctly?
