Is there any good way to mark a port as already having been installed if you've built and installed it manually? I don't want the version I built with special configure options to get overwritten when I install another port that depends on it.
By design, MacPorts only depends on other software installed using MacPorts, and not on any software you've installed manually.

If you need options for a software package that are not in the MacPorts port for that software, perhaps the options can be added to the port. Consult the port maintainer, or if there is none, this list.
