#20218: 'make install' has bad instructions -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: apbaccounts@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Installing from source concludes with the message: Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system. To get the Portfiles and update the system, run: sudo port -v selfupdate Because the installation just happened, people are unlikely to already have /opt/local/bin in their $PATH, and so that command fails with 'sudo: port: command not found'. Maybe anyone installing from source is smart enough to know what to do, but why offer the command if it's not going to work? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20218> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
