You can also press "Ctrl-Z" which will put port (or any other process) to halt. Resuming works via `fg' (foreground) which will revive the backgrounded program. This is a feature of the shell - so don't close the one that port is attached to. -Markus On Tue, 2007-10-16 at 15:40 +0100, Adam Funk wrote:
I'm trying to do `sudo port install ghc` on my old PowerBook and it's taking longer than I can leave the laptop sitting around to do it. I tried hitting Ctl-C and then running the same command again (this always worked when fink, which I recently switched from, was building from source packages) but I just get an insurmountable error (as far as I can tell) and have to start over again.
I know that normally make-driven builds can be interrupted and resumed, but I'm new to MacPorts. How can I do this?
Thanks, Adam
