Also consider your applications and frameworks. You may want to use -- with-applications-dir and --with-frameworks-dir also. So if you want everything to be on the ZFS drive, then you may want: PREFIX=/path/to/zfs/some/dir PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin \ ./configure \ --prefix=$PREFIX \ --with-tclpackage=$PREFIX/Library/Tcl \ --with-applications-dir=$PREFIX/Applications/MacPorts \ --with-frameworks-dir=$PREFIX/Library/Frameworks \ --enable-readline make sudo make install make clean _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
