mediawiki
by George A. Dowding 14 May '07

14 May '07

I would like to install mediawiki using postgresql rather than mysql. At one time there was some useful documentation on creating a local port tree as well as guidance on writing a portfile. It seems that the site http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ that had the documentation is no longer in existence. Can somebody direct me to where I might find answers to the questions that I seek? Thanks, George

Trouble with subversion
by Andre-John Mas 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hi, I am testing out my subversion install, which I had installed with MacPorts, and I seem to be having an issue: myhost:~/.ssh root# svn info svn+ssh://ajmas@127.0.0.1/Library/svn/ repositories/development The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.

Re: error building python24 on mac os x
by Stuart Robertson 14 May '07

14 May '07

I've solved my python24 problem after finding the following line in the macports irc logs for April 10 2007 at http://echelog.matzon.dk: "[21:23:41] <f00> it's just matter of having quicktime, coreaudio and opengl sdk installed" I'd missed out coreaudio and opengl. Perhaps the wiki should encourage everyone to install all of the developer tools (minus developer docs, all 1.4gb of them) rather than only the x11 bits. Any way python24 builds and duplicity installs, now I just have to figure out how to use it. Stuart On 13 May 2007, at 22:38, Stuart Robertson wrote: > I remain stuck with building python24.

hicolor-icon-theme checksum failure

I'm receiving checksum failures while trying to install hicolor-icon- theme My error is: > ---> Verifying checksum(s) for hicolor-icon-theme > ---> Checksumming hicolor-icon-theme-0.10.tar.gz > Portfile checksum: hicolor-icon-theme-0.10.tar.gz md5 > 3534f7b8e59785c7d5bfa923e85510a7 > Distfile checksum: hicolor-icon-theme-0.10.tar.gz md5 > bdd79932b340f0cf678136cb56477dd3 > Warning: the following items did not execute (for hicolor-icon- > theme): com.apple.activate com.apple.extract com.apple.checksum > com.apple.patch com.apple.configure com.apple.build > com.apple.destroot com.apple.install I have poked around a bit and found that the source file host, http:// icon-theme.freedesktop.org/wiki/HicolorTheme is reporting this problem at http://gabe.freedesktop.org: > Many of the wikis on freedesktop.org is currently down for > maintenance: we're working to bring all the wikis back up ASAP. > Sorry for the inconvenience. -daniels Which leads me to believe that the checksum problem is resulting because the file is not at the expected location due to maintenance.

pdftk build fails
by Eckhard Wiemann 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hi all, on my Intel-MacBook I want to install pdftk, which needs gcc41. Installing gcc41 made no problems, but at the end pdftk fails to build. Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/ db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_textproc_pdftk/work/pdftk-1.41/pdftk" && make all -f Makefile.MacOSX TOOLPATH=/opt/local/bin/ VERSUFF=-dp-4.1 " returned error 2 The directory exists (until cleaning the port), and in it there is a file called "Makefile.MacOSX". What can I do? Thanks, Eckhard.

python24 upgrade fails?

I too have encountered this problem while building Python 2.4 with MacPorts. My Mac's filesystem is case sensitive. Mr. Beard, is your filesystem case sensitive? There is logic in configure.in (and thus configure) that tests whether the filesystem is case INsensitive. On most Macs this test will evaluate to true but on my Mac it will evaluate to false. Could this difference be the source of the build failure and the fact that some aspects of the build expect "python.exe" to exist? -Michael Dakin

Hi, Given that the Apache 2 port does not support IPv6, what do a need to do, or who do I talk to to have an IPv6 variant added to the Portfile. Andre

Re: gtk2 compiling problem
by Daniel Wolk 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hello Ryan, Thanks very much for your thoughtful help. I really cannot fix the problem until I get a duplicate Mac OS DVD (I work out-of-state from my home and don't want my original to leave my home). I did not realize that cups is so finicky, and that the Mac OS dmg images from the cups website were so incompatible with my system. As for X11, I just wanted to tell you that contrary to what you thought was probable, I had installed the Mac OS X11 first, and then the macports version. I had some incompatibilities between the macports version of xemacs and Mac OS X11. Once I get the Mac OS DVD, I will follow your advice, by cleaning the Mac OS X11 off and reinstalling the macports version. One big annoyance is that it is very difficult to uninstall 3rd party software. I have learned my lesson: I will avoid it as much as possible.

JabRef (recommended software)
by Daniel Wolk 13 May '07

Is this where I can recommend 3rd-party software for inclusion in MacPorts? If so, I have found the following software helpful, and it should be easy to incoporate into MacPorts: JabRef reference manager http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ Daniel Wolk
