I added a page to the Wiki to more or less comprehensively cover MacPorts installation: Installiing MacPorts, X11, setting the shell. Right now it is OS X 10.4 only. Comments are welcome. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts I'd like to delete the ManuallySettingShell at the top-level since it isn't needed anymore. I also propose the structure as shown below for the Wiki. I think the current structure needs improvement. Mark -------------------------------------- ** MacPorts Starting Points ** I) Home Page II) Getting Your Mac Ready for MacPorts 1) Install Xcode Tools 2) Install the MacPorts Binary 3) Installing X11 and setting the shell (optional) II) Using MacPorts (Joe's Getting Started section) III) FAQ ** MacPorts Support and Development ** I) MacPorts Internals 1) Build Phases II) Making Portfiles (or Portfile examples if that is too challenging) III) MacPorts Guide (enhanced legacy guide) IV) New Committer's Guide V) Developer FAQ VI) Legacy Site, Docs, etc ----------------------------------------
