I will give it a try. I downloaded Darwinports 1.3.2. On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 10:07 AM, Yves de Champlain <yves@gnu-darwin.org> wrote:

Is there a version of Macports that can be installed on a darwin installation? I installed the Darwin 8 iso and can not get Macports to configure since GNUStep is missing.
You can install an older version of macports, install gnustep and then update macports.
But I don't know since when GNUstep is required.

I was able to install darwinports 1.3.2, but the port files have properties/commands that this old version does not understand. The problem with building the latest version (This started with Macports 1.5) is that Core Foundation is required. I would have thought that darwin 8 had core foundation installed. Michael

Darwin's Core Foundation is a subset (or something similar) of Mac OS X'S so it is there but may be missing symbols. yves

and BTW many ports will also fail because they just suppose darwin to be mac os x yves

We still have separate "macosx" and "darwin" platforms don't we? Do we want to continue having that? Or should we drop all semblance of Pure Darwin support? I guess if we (Anders) are going to all the effort lately to support other operating systems, we should also support Pure Darwin...

There are even three: "darwin", a superset of "macosx" and "puredarwin" Darwin does not automatically include e.g. Carbon and Cocoa frameworks. So technically those ports are wrong, or at least making assumptions...

I added "support" for FreeBSD, as a substitute for the late Darwin. (and additionally tried MP on Linux too, in the name of portability) Darwin OS currently enjoys the same MacPorts status as Jaguar does, "while stock lasts". Users of either should upgrade, like "yesterday". --anders
That is OK, as long as the ports I am interested in will work. At this point it is only Kaffe and anything Kaffe depends on. On Feb 17, 2008 2:40 AM, Yves de Champlain <yves@macports.org> wrote:

I may have misspoke, I am using just darwin, I forgot that there is a puredarwin project. That is not what I am using.

I remember having built Kaffe on Darwin 7.2.1. Darwin 8 should work too. yves

"puredarwin" is a MacPorts variant that means "Darwin without Carbon" - such as Darwin OS. "macosx" is a similar MacPorts variant that means "Darwin with Carbon" - such as Mac OS X. The platform variant "darwin" would be set for both of them, as both have uname == "Darwin". I think software is supposed to look for specific libraries/ frameworks, instead of assume ? --anders
I don't see any point in supporting Pure Darwin for any reason at this point. You're talking about an installed base of what - 20 people? 50? 100 tops? I can think of more Amiga Unix users than that. - Jordan On Feb 17, 2008, at 12:25 AM, Ryan Schmidt wrote:

This might be (or is) off the topic, but is there any way to boot into console (or ``>console'' if you like) without loading anything related to Aqua, Carbon, Cocoa or any GUI related part of the OS X? On Feb 17, 2008, at 3:34 PM, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:
