    2626Note that if you have specified variants which are not the default, you may need to install ports in an order other than the alphabetical order recorded in `myports.txt`.

    28 === Automatic method === #automatic

    30 As of MacPorts 1.8.0, you can alternatively try an automated rebuild of all installed ports for your new platform using these steps:
    31 
    32  1. Uninstall the gawk, grep, and gsed ports (if installed), as many build systems will try to use them even if there is no dependency:
    33 {{{
    34 sudo port -f uninstall installed and \( gawk grep gsed perl5 perl5.8 perl5.10 \)
    35 }}}
    36  2. Reinstall all installed ports:
    37 {{{
    38 sudo port upgrade --force installed
    39 }}}
    40  3. If MacPorts has not already reinstalled them, you can now reinstall any of the ports removed in step 1, if desired.
    41 
    42 Note that this method may sometimes fail if the dependency relationships declared by the ports are not completely accurate, or if ports other than gawk/grep/gsed are used opportunistically. If you encounter such a problem, please report it so we can fix it.
