I want to use macports to build self contained bundles, containing a
tool and any dependencies of that tool. For example, I want to
distribute an FFTW package that installs into /Users/Shared/FFTW. Under
that directory would be the usual bin, lib etc:
/Users/Shared/FFTW/bin
/Users/Shared/FFTW/lib ...
Any libraries that FFTW uses would also be included in that bundle.
My question is: how could I do this with macports? I thought it would be
a simple matter of changing the install prefix in macports.conf:
prefix /Users/Shared/FFTW
But when I do this, I get error messages indicating I haven't setup the
prefix dir properly:
Library directory '/Users/Shared/OpenMacPorts/share/macports/Tcl' must
exist
while executing
"mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, Library
directory '/Users/Shared/OpenMacPorts/share/macports/Tcl' must exist
Is there a straightforward way to do what I want? Basically I want to
have control over the install directory, such that I can change it at will.
I would add something like
--with-tclpackage=/Users/Shared/OpenMacPorts/lib/tcl/macports
to the configure step. I've had no issues when I do this.
