Syncing multiple macport installs
by Mark Fredrickson 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hello, Does anyone have any suggestions/recipes for keeping two macs in sync with regard to their macport installations? Specifically, is there a good way to build on one machine and then not have to duplicate that build process on the other? I tried changing the prefix and user/group of my macports install, in an attempt to localize it all within a single directory, but I have found that problematic (many ports do not play well in the sandbox). I've reverted to using the standard locations and owners, but I still worry about syncing two machines (say, with rsync or unison) since things are installed outside of /opt (eg. launch items, etc). As anyone built a system where you package up your macports as .pkg files and push them to other machines? (or something similar). Thanks in advance, -mark

openssl upgrade fubar?
by Kevin Ballard 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

I just told MacPorts to upgrade Subversion. As part of doing this, it decided to upgrade openssl. However, there was no difference in version string! ---> Deactivating openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Uninstalling openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Installing openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Activating openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 Any idea why it decided to do this? -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org eridius(a)macports.org http://www.tildesoft.com

In attempting to install MacPorts, I've run into a little problem. Since I already have Fink on my system, the latest 10.4 developer tools and X11 had been installed earlier. I downloaded and installed the MacPorts binary, and then using pico, opened and edited the ~./ profile and it now looks like this: > # Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved > # Setting the path for DarwinPorts. > export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH > export DISPLAY=:O.O > However, when I run the env command, I get this: > PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin > SECURITYSESSIONID=51d020 > HOME=/Users/jamescoy > SHELL=/bin/tcsh > USER=jamescoy > __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0 > TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal > TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=133 > TERM=xterm-color > LOGNAME=jamescoy > HOSTTYPE=powermac > VENDOR=apple > OSTYPE=darwin > MACHTYPE=powerpc > SHLVL=1 > PWD=/Users/jamescoy > GROUP=staff > HOST=James-Coyles-iBook.local > MANPATH=/sw/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/sw/lib/ > perl5/5.8.6/man:/sw/lib/perl5-core/5.8.1/man:/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.1/man > INFOPATH=/sw/share/info:/sw/info:/usr/share/info > PERL5LIB=/sw/lib/perl5:/sw/lib/perl5/darwin > XML_CATALOG_FILES=/sw/etc/xml/catalog > SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/sw/etc/sgml/catalog > As you can see, the PATH does not display as per the instructions. Is that because of Fink being on my system or.....what's the deal? Thanks!

apr-util 1.2.8 with db44
by Doug McCorkle 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hello, Recently I update apr-util from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8 which requires db44. After doing this db44 libs end up in /opt/local/lib/db44. This causes a problem when using the apr-util pc file since apr appears to think that the libs are in /opt/local/lib. Is this particular problem an issue with the apr-util build configuration or is it an issue with the db44 port? Thanks for the help. Doug

is platypus maintained? + crosscompiling (intel + ppc)
by Pau Arumi 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

hi all, i'm new to the list and to macports. i've succeed porting the osx build of my project (http://clam.iua.upf.edu) macports. since we are used to linux development it suits our needs very much. i have problems installing platypus, are these servers temporarily down, or just not maintained anymore? $ sudo port install platypus Password: ---> Fetching Platypus ---> Attempting to fetch platypus3.2.src.zip from http://sveinbjorn.sytes.net/files/software/platypus/ ... actually my dns cannot even resolve the ip of any of the mirrors. on another topic, i'd like to crosscompile (intel+ppc) all my project's dependencies. i have already done some research on how to this in unix-like packages, but i guess that the compile/link flags should change depending on the packages. so i'd like to know if there is some documentation or experience whatsoever on that. thanks, pau -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Octave Instability
by Anthony Michael Agelastos 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Hello, I do not know if this has been dealt with, or if other people have found other workarounds for it, but why is 2.9.9 so unstable? Even a simple octave:1> t=linspace(0,2*pi);y=sin(t);plot(t,y) panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to `octave-core'... leads to a seg. fault. Does everyone who uses Octave via MacPorts have this issue? Thank you for your input with this. -Anthony
