For example, the default MacPorts prefix is /opt/local, so its libraries go in /opt/local/lib, its headers go in /opt/local/include, and so on. I'm not really sure how to build MacPorts on non-OS X systems; I've never tried. My remark was just meant to point out that 1) you have to install the Objective-C runtime stuff, however one does that on non-OS X systems (GNUstep?), and 2) depending on where you put it, you may need to tell the build to do that (by adding -I flags to CPPFLAGS and adding -L flags to LDFLAGS). How exactly did you install the Objective-C components? Where exactly are they on disk? i.e. show us a complete path of one of the headers that it installs. Exactly what commands are you running to build MacPorts? Exactly what error message does it give? > And a FreeBSD build is supported but would be considered experimental if you > read on the MacPorts > site. Yes, MacPorts itself should be installable on non-OS X operating systems. However, the collection of ports we have in MacPorts is meant for OS X and many of them won't be installable on non-OS X operating systems. So if your intention in installing MacPorts on FreeBSD is to install our ports on FreeBSD, you're likely to be disappointed. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
