I've created my first ever Portfile and attached it to this ticket. I believe it almost works. The build phase is throwing some errors. The weird thing is that when I execute the failing command myself it succeeds and afterwards the installation completes successfully and ngrok works. Does anyone see why the build phase is currently failing?
I'm not a MacPorts committer yet, but if I can get this Portfile to work, I might want to become one and maintain ngrok as my first project.

"The truth is that the Makefile isn't really set up for that at the moment. Here's what you can do to get a non-updating build though:
make clean make client-assets BUILDTAGS=release GOPATH=`pwd` go install -gcflags "-N -l" -tags 'release !autoupdate' ngrok/main/ngrok
This is pretty horribly kludgy. I'd be happy to have a makefile that's more flexible and allows different options to be turned on/off. I'm not sure if the "right way" to do this is to bite the bullet and learn autotools or if we can just make the Makefile more clever and still support all of the different build options that are required."

https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok#ngrok-2x says: "ngrok 2.x is the successor to 1.x and the focus of all current development effort. Its source code is not available."
I guess I could create a Portfile that just installs the binary.

Replying to breun:

Any update on that?
UPD. Actually, I think version 1 is more useful, or have both.
ngrok's build dependencies are go (ngrok is written in Go) and mercurial (used to grab some build dependencies AFAIK), both of which I've successfully installed via MacPorts and used to run 'make'.
