This is waaay old but I'm finally getting around to this (read: the client is paying). I've since updated to Macports 1.6. Is this custom port still necessary (I assume so since I still don't see a dbase option)? If so, I want to use a combo of patching and setting up a local port (so I don't fubar the clean port). I assume I don't just grab php5 source and dump it into a local directory and point sources.conf at it. I'm sure a get a copy of the port, place it locally, patch it, then follow http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories. How do I go about getting a local copy of the php5 port. Also, am I missing anything?
Thank you for all the help! And I'll be sure to report back my experience. -Abe On Thu, Sep 27, 2007 at 5:05 PM, Abram Gillespie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm under the gun right now.
