If WANT_LINT is set in /etc/make.conf, then ports that use the /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk macros to make libraries will also try to lint the code, and will fail when no place is found to install the lint library. Linting ports is of no use to the FreeBSD Project, as it only generates output that would be of use to the code author. Linting needs to be turned off summarily for all port work, and the NO_LINT macro is intended for this purpose (also for src/contrib code). How-To-Repeat: Build a port which uses the bsd.lib.mk, while WANT_LINT is turned on in /etc/make.conf. Example ports/graphics/png
