I think it's actually -W, not -C. (Sadly, someone seems to have deleted the
relevant section of guide.macports.org, perhaps inadvertently; it looks
very work-in-progress now, but the previously existing documentation for
"system" is gone.)

Re: ports that contain JAR file

[Abdulrahman Alshammari]

Hey,
If I use 
> build {
>system -C ${worksrcpath} "java -jar filename.jar”
> }

After changing the file name and others, It gives me that 
Error: org.macports.build for port civl returned: bad option -C

In details, I edit it like this: 
build {
   system -C ${worksrcpath}/lib "java -jar ${name}-${version}_${rev}.jar"
}

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, to a point. If "java -jar file.jar" builds something, then it should be 
called in the build phase. But if "java -jar file.jar" installs files, then it 
should be in the destroot phase. In addition, you'll need to figure out how to 
tell it where to install the files; they must be placed inside 
${destroot}${prefix}.

Re: ports that contain JAR file

Hey,
Originally, after unzip the file, the user write java -jar file.jar in terminal 
to install the software, then the user can use it. I think the first choice fit 
very well. What do you think?

Do you mean that you need to run "java -jar filename.jar" to build/install the 
software? If so, you could write something like:

build {
system -C ${worksrcpath} "java -jar filename.jar"
}

Or did you mean that the user will run "java -jar filename.jar" to run the 
software after it is installed? An example of this kind of port is antlr3 but 
there are several others.

ports that contain JAR file

[Abdulrahman Alshammari]

Hey all,

The original installation of the software that I am trying to make a port for, 
is using the command line: 
Java -jar filename.jar 

Is there a port of software that used to use the same way of installation 
before the port build. In other words, I want to compare the portfile I have 
with similar portfiles so I can learn from them.

-Abdul

No. If the software is distributed as a .jar file, or zip file, or tar.bz2 
file, or any other kind of file, that is the file the port would download from 
the upstream server, and then extract or manipulate in whatever way necessary. 
In the case of a .jar file, presumably no manipulation would be necessary, so 
you would clear "extract.only" and copy the file from distpath to where it 
needs to go inside destroot.

Jar File

[Abdulrahman Alshammari]

Hey,
I am almost done from biuilding the portfile and I just need someone to answer 
my question. my software is simply as jar file.
Is it required to convert the jar files into DMG extension file ?

Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks
