Wolfgang, I usually take a slightly different approach to solving problems like this, which is to ask, 'how different is the version I want from the one that's already available from macports?' I approach it that way because, most of the time, someone has already figured out what options need to be passed to configure to be built using macports dependencies and to install to the macports location. In your case, I would remove any existing gnumeric port you have, by doing: 'sudo port clean --all gnumeric'. Then I would modify the existing portfile to add the option you want: 'sudo port edit gnumeric'. Change configure.args to remove the '-- without-python' tag. Build and install your slightly modified gnumeric port via 'sudo port install gnumeric'. If you get this working you could consider submitting any changes you needed to make to the gnumeric Portfile to get it working with python and the other plugins you want as a patch in trac. This method has the advantage of being installable and uninstallable via the 'port' command. Good luck, Frank McPherson On Sep 20, 2006, at 23:29, Wolfgang Keller wrote:
Hello,
as the Gnumeric package in the Macports repository does apparently not include the Python plugin (as well as a lot of others), I would like to compile Gnumeric from source myself. Such that it is linked against the libraries already in the /opt/local tree and that it is also installed there, of course.
What options must I pass to configure, make and install to achieve this?
Such as e.g. --prefix=/opt/local or whatnot?
TIA,
Sincerely,
Wolfgang Keller
