i'm trying to compile the latest ruby (stable-snapshot.tar.gz) using the ports compiler toolchain. i though i might be able to do something likesudo cp stable-snapshot.tar.gz distfiles/ruby/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz sudo port -p -f install rubybut no joy. that complained about the checksums. next i edited the Portfile to reflect that actual checksums but still no joy.is there a preferred mechanism for doing what i'm trying to do: install a port with an alternate tarball?
The best way to do this would be to make your own portfile (based off of the existing ruby one).
mkdir ruby cd ruby port cat ruby > Portfile vim Portfile port install ... should probably work for you.Check out the guide (http://geeklair.net/macports_guide/), you may end up wanting your own local macports repository (http:// geeklair.net/macports_guide/#development.local-repositories)
