Hi Adam, I tried homebrew when I started using OS X, but got frustrated and switched to macports, and never looked back. I found a page that seems to help a lot for macports users. See below. When I am done with the migration, I will restart building cicada, and let you know what method I am using. Before the upgrade, I was using the method described in your document, with cmake and make. I need to modify the build to use a stock boost as described in the list a little while back.

To reinstall your ports: > Save the list of installed ports: > port -qv installed > myports.txt > (optional) Save the list of requested ports: > port echo requested | cut -d ' ' -f 1 > requested.txt > Uninstall all installed ports: > sudo port -f uninstall installed > Clean any partially-completed builds: > sudo port clean all > Download and execute the restore_ports script.
