-------------------------------------------------------------------------- DarwinPorts 1.0 Quick notes on installation and usage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DarwinPorts system is installed by running: ./configure && make && sudo make install This will place a standard DarwinPorts installation in /opt/local. You should ensure that /opt/local/bin is in your PATH environment variable, otherwise your shell will not be able to find the executables that are installed by DarwinPorts. If you are using a bourne shell (Panther and Tiger by default uses bash) add the following line to your ~/.profile file. If the file does not exist create it. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH If you are using a (t)csh shell (Jaguar) put the following line in your ~/.cshrc file. If the file does not exist, create it. Your changes will not take effect until you have opened a new shell. set path=(/opt/local/bin $path) Finally, you must download the port description files, the Portfiles: port sync If you want to update the Portfiles and the DarwinPorts infrastructure (base) run: sudo port selfupdate QUICK START To search for a port and/or related, vi for example: port search vi To install a port: sudo port install Please read the manual page for port: man port There are also manual pages for portfile, porthier and portstyle, aimed at Portfile writers.
