configure.args-delete
by Jochen Küpper 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, in the qt4-mac port I need to specify something like configure.args-delete "-nomake examples" Hw does one delete arguments containing whitespace from the args? I have tried multiple different ideas ("-nomake examples", '-nomake examples', -nomake\ examples, {-nomake examples}) but none seems to work. I cannot simply say configure.args-delete -nomake examples because -nomake occurs multiple times in the configure.args. Is it possible to use regex? Which syntax? Any other hints?

Kaffe (Java) and Leopard?
by Tabitha McNerney 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Has anyone had any success installing some Java-related MacPorts, specifically the kaffe port, on Leopard or Leopard Server? I just tried kaffe on Leopard Server and got failure. I can post a bug report (as I didn't see any for kaffe and Leopard yet) but wanted to first inquire on the mailing list to see if there might be a simple workaround (I can then modify the Portfile with the workaround if need be and get the modified Portfile into the subversion repo). Thanks, T.M.

Standardizing a MacPorts system
by Tabitha McNerney 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hello all -- I would like to build, from source, on an Xserve running Leopard Server, a "standard" MacPorts system that could be deployed, in an organization, on numerous other Apple servers running the same version of the OS (e.g. Leopard Server). In doing so I would use Apple's command-line tools (such as hdiutil and asr) create a restorable disk image (.dmg) file of a disc volume that hangs off an external disk on my original Xserve which houses the MacPorts prefix (e.g., /opt/local). I would then restore from this disc image to the additional machines slated to be the recipients of the original standard. I don't see any immediate problems in doing so, however I have noticed when installing some ports (when I have occasionally enabled verbose mode "-v" during the install), depending on the port, some ports seem to take into consideration the Hostname of the Xserve I'm running it on. On my Xserve running Leopard Server, the Hostname is very importantly tied to the DNS name because I am running Apple's DNS server that is buncled with Leopard Server since I need it for other services on the machine which are not directly related to MacPorts such as running an OpenDirectory Master. The problem is, with hundreds of MacPorts tied together and with complex dependency chains, how can anyone determine when a specific MacPort reads the hostname and uses the hostname of the machine during the configuration process (unless a sys admin such as myself builds each and every port with verbose mode and analysis the output grepping for the hostname)? It might be problematic if the hostname of any given MacPort somehow becomes "hard wired" into the port itself during the configuration / install processing. Then again, I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill. Has anyone else built a Standardized MacPorts system that is cloned to multiple Macs? Thanks, T.M.

Keep in mind, however, that gnome is currently unmaintained and that dbus, gconf and the entire help system are not working correctly. Regards, Guido

I'm thinking maybe I should reinstalling the Xcode too… XNU is the Mac OS X kernel, yes? What do you mean, playing with it? You are running Tiger? If so, what did you mean when you said "darwin_9"? In what way did installing MacPorts 1.6.0 from the Tiger disk image fail? If you're on Tiger, reinstalling Xcode 2.5 couldn't hurt.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Well that certainly shouldn't be. Reinstalling MacPorts might help. But I don't think installing the port called MacPorts is the way to do that. At least, that's not documented anywhere.

Ok. I know we had some problems building under Panther, but that's not it then. I'm sending this back to the list so someone with Leopard can look at it.

How do I get the port to write the output to a log file? `$ sudo port upgrade outdated > PortUpgradeOutdated.log' didn't fly well.
