Hi folks, I've been struggling to get the programming language Io fully installed on my system. Io recommends MacPorts for installing dependencies and mostly that has been working for me. A couple of things which didn't work are avcodec (part of ffmpeg) and libSoundTouch. Both of these install from MacPorts OK, but they only have .a and .la files, while Io requires .dylib files. Is there anything I can pass in to make the port build dynamic libraries, or do I need to edit the portfile? And if I have to edit the port, are they cached locally or do I need to set up a local portfile repository? I'm running OS X (10.4.8, Intel) and have uninstalled all ports and reinstalled just the ones needed for Io (I had a lot of very out-of- date ports and wanted to start with a clean slate). I'm running the latest version of MacPorts. If there's any further info needed, let me know. --Dethe This [the adoption of open source software] isn't just my idea, or Brazil's idea.

I would guess that there's not a variant to build the dynamic libraries, but you can check with 'port info portname' or by reading the portfile from 'port cat portname'
And if I have to edit the port, are they cached locally or do I need to set up a local portfile repository?
For a quick hack, you can do 'port edit portname' and just modify the port. If you do make an improvement, please consider sharing it with everyone by submitting your changes to the maintainer (through trac), or if the port isn't maintained by anyone, by considering taking maintainership of the port. -- Daniel J.
