Installing things, not managed by MacPorts, into the "/opt/local" prefix is bound to cause some conflicts one way or another. Wouldn't recommend it. > You WILL need (on Lion) to install db-5.3.15 (I'm told that a db53 port was > just added). > > I do this one expedient hack with db-5.,3.15 (because its a PITA to "fix" > properly): > > cd /opt/local/lib > ln -s db53/* . It should be enough to use the regular CPPFLAGS+=-I/opt/local/include/db53 and LDFLAGS+=-L/opt/local/lib/db53, rather than setting up symlinks, I think. > Change the %falmouth stanza to lose any build prerequisites > (mostly bog standard MacPorts but I do what is needed to > enable _EVERYTHING_ for RPM development) that you do not wish to fight with. Adding a "rpm54" port would be the most straight-forward way to include it. I'll see what I can do about it, should be a copy of the existing "rpm52"... Of course, neither the %falmouth nor the (post-5.2) %macosx devtool target nor the mac ports will help if one wants to make a stand-alone distribution. Then you need to start from the beginning, by installing all dependencies. Just like the %standalone target used to do, while it was still "alive" ? --anders ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
