#38090: Port request: Valkyrie -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: marty@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: valkyrie | -----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by marty@…): Sorry for the tardy reply, but in trying to install this, I've run into problems; I suspect they're just due to my lack of understanding of testing a MacPort, but I will show what I've run into below (I read all the related info from Comment 7 above, but I must still be doing something wrong): 1. I downloaded the valkyrie Portfile.3 and put it in /tmp (note I did not setup a local repository because it seemed per the instructions that was not completely necessary; please correct me if I'm wrong). I will redo it with the final noted patches once I understand more of this. 2. I cd-ed into /tmp and attempted to install the portfile. I ntoed from Google hits on the error that this is somewhat common of a problem, but I've not yet figured out what I'm doing wrong. Please point me at any resources that I should be reading to understand a local install and the port install syntax actually needed. macmini2:tmp marty $ ls 0007c5179098c launch-m9PG09/ launchd-277.jEMjzK/ launch-HkDmja/ launchd-1733.kYtHWX/ launchd-325.DdUWqY/ launch-dQHvaN/ launchd-1742.CRapxH/ launchd-425.7ZytWw/ launch-gyyrJK/ launchd-1749.5jMg4b/ launchd-855.GJMOXp/ launch-he3bOd/ launchd-1756.cEwEnv/ valkyrie macmini2:tmp marty $ head valkyrie # -*- coding: utf-8; mode: tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c -basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:ft=tcl:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4 # $Id: Portfile 102485 2013-02-04 16:02:38Z raimue@macports.org $ PortSystem 1.0 PortGroup qt4 1.0 name valkyrie version 2.0.0 revision 0 categories devel aqua macmini2:tmp marty $ sudo port install < valkyrie Password: Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /private/tmp").
