#52278: minivmac @3.2.3 needs some trickery to find and use ROM... -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ken.cunningham.webuse@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: minivmac -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Just to start off, I find this port to be amazing. The background activities that generate all the MinivMac versions seem quite astounding, and the portfile looks like a work of art. Impressive. When the port runs, it runs as the macports user, I assume. I don't have a macports user folder on my machines and so I had a slight hiccup in that the Mac Plus Rom location had to be changed in the Portfile from {{{ ~/Library/Preferences/Gryphel/mnvm_rom/vMac.ROM }}} to another location. At first I tried hard coding in the full path to my home folder's preferences folder, and although the ROM was found, this ran into a permissions error and miniVmac wouldn't open it. Rather than change permissions all the way up the chain, ultimately it lived well in {{{ /Users/Shared/Library/Preferences/Gryphel/mnvm_rom/vMac.ROM }}} once I checked all the permissions and ownership to make sure it and the enclosing folders were readable by all. I'm not sure if there's really anything that can be done to make this process easier for someone -- or perhaps I missed something obvious and made it harder on myself somehow. Now that it's working well, I'll try to see how to use it to generate some of my own custom vMac builds. Great port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52278> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
