i know.i made it on purpose. just for checking whether "port install vim" uses variants.conf or not. DEBUG: Requested variant powerpc is not provided by port vim. DEBUG: Requested variant darwin is not provided by port vim. DEBUG: Requested variant macosx is not provided by port vim. DEBUG: Skipping completed com.apple.main (vim) DEBUG: Skipping completed com.apple.unarchive (vim) but there is no provied +multibyte or +ncurses. the result is same without wrong variant syntax. just put , "+multibyte +ncurses" in variants.conf, "multibyte" and "ncurses" are not provided to vim when i try to install vim, above debug message..

The following ports are currently installed: vim @7.0.178_0+multibyte+ncurses (active) when i try to installed command, variants.conf seems to work.. (as you can see "invalid variant syntax...") but, when i run install command, there is no request or error about my variants file.. port install run result ---- Cocoa:/opt/local/etc/ports jenix$ sudo port -vd install vim Warning: /opt/local/etc/ports/variants.conf specifies invalid variant syntax 'sdlkfjsdlfkjsdlfkjsdlfkj', ignored.

Setting default values for environment variables
by Paulo Moura 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hi! I'm looking for the best way to mimic on MacOS X a Linux handy feature for setting the default values (system-wide, for all users) for environment variables. In Linux, I need just to create *.sh and *.csh files with the environment variable definition on the /etc/ profile.d/ directory. I need similar functionality for a postflight script for a MacPorts package (or for the post-destroot phase). Your suggestions are most welcome.

with-extra-charsets in MySQL 5.0?
by js 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi list. Is there any reason mysql5 port doesn't have --with-extra-charsets configure option in is port file? I found mysql4 port has that one. $ port cat mysql4 | grep extra --enable-thread-safe-client --with-extra-charsets=complex \ might be better to have extra-charsets variants I think. Any idea?

What's the way to specify languages when I get gcc via macports? Specifically, I need Ada and Fortran. Cheers, Alexy

What's the proper way -- for a new ports user -- to alter the configure.args? I assume you download it somewhere locally, alter the profile, and do build from that source a lá src rpm? An outline of steps/options would be instructive!

Re: subversion install error: neon checksum

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > While installing subversion port, neon was reported as failing > checksum.

I've had the same problem, but I've found a workaround. It seems that port is trying to download neon-0.26.2.tar.gz from http:// www.webdav.org/neon/, but that site is down at the moment (if you enter the address in a webbrowser, then a page appears where it says: "webdav.org expired on 12/16/2006 and is pending renewal or deletion."). This is what has worked for me: 1. Remove any existing neon installation with "sudo port -f uninstall neon" followed by "sudo port clean --all neon" 2. Download neon-0.26.2.tar.gz from http://www.mirrorservice.org/ sites/master.us.finkmirrors.net/distfiles/%5Bpage=70%5D and copy it to /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/neon 3. Do "sudo port install neon". Now "sudo port install subversion" works fine.

By "by default" do you mean "when you use the +apache variant"? If so, I agree with you, from the other thread you quoted. However, I wanted to note that this seems to be a completely separate issue from the one you originally mentioned. > besides, who want to use Apple's old, not so well maintananced > apache? A month or two ago, I proposed eliminating the ability to use Apple's Apache and only use MacPorts's Apache. Several people objected to this, which is why I proposed the compromise in which both are available. Some reasons to prefer Apple's are that it gets auto-upgraded by Software Update, and that you can control it from System Preferences > Sharing > Personal Web Sharing. With the MacPorts version, you have to use the terminal for both tasks, something some users are not comfortable with.
