I've started to make a port for Crossfire (http://crossfire.real- time.com/). Currently I've got the game client working on my machine, but I don't know how to add dependencies. Which fine manual should I read?
I'm not sure... I recommend looking at other existing ports. The php5 port is a fairly big port with lots of dependencies to give you some ideas.
Attached are the two portfiles (one for the client and one for the image files). As this is my first serious try at making a port any comments are greatly appreciated.
Should the game binary be installed in /opt/local/games instead of / opt/local/bin? I used the Nethack port as my reference and installed to /opt/local/bin.
No. There is no /opt/local/games, nor should there be. Binaries go in /opt/local/bin. Alternative: If this is a GUI application that is double-clicked to be started, then it should go in /Applications/MacPorts. See the neverball port for an example.
