    1010Make a local copy of a single port directory anywhere you want {{{cp -R `port dir gtk3` .}}}, then enter that directory {{{cd gtk3}}} and make your modifications to the Portfile and add your patch to the ./files directory. To use the Portfile, be in the directory with the Portfile, and use `sudo port -v install +variants` (note no Portname specified).

    12 You don't have to do any of this if you don't want to. If your port doesn't build, {{{cd `port work gtk3`}}}, and edit the errant sourcefile directly in place. No patches, no touching the Portfile. Then {{{sudo port -v install}}} and away you go. This is how we fix broken Ports and generate the patches in the first place.
