port variants or different port
Hello, 1. I want to write a portfile for install the package auctex for emacs. I have two emacs installed, one is Emacs.app(Cocoa), the other is emacs(for non-graphical command line). Accordingly, I need to specify different configuration for auctex, i.e., set -with-emacs -with-lisp-dir to different locations. I want both Emacs.app and emacs can find the package auctex. In this case, should I write two different port files and give the port different names (auctex and auctex-app, for example) or should I make one portfile with two different variants? I try the latter, but it seems that only one variant is activated, that is, the lisp files only exist in one lisp-dir. Are there any other options I can use to make two variants activated at the same time? 2. How can I see the the definition of Portfiles for a particular port return by port search xxport? Thanks. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
Permission Denied with source installation
First off, I've already tried port clean. So I'm wondering if it's
an issue specific to how I'm installing from source.
I built and installed v2.0.3 using the following scripts:
src_env.sh
#!/bin/sh
export MACPORTS=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/macports
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
export PATH=$MACPORTS/bin:$MACPORTS/sbin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$MACPORTS/share/man
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
export LDFLAGS=-L${MACPORTS}/lib
export CPPFLAGS=-I${MACPORTS}/include
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MACPORTS/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MACPORTS/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=$MACPORTS/lib
build.sh
#!/bin/sh
. /Users/arno/Code/macports/util/src_env.sh
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
./configure --prefix=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/macports/
--with-tclpackage=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/tcl/
--with-applications-dir=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/Applications/
--with-frameworks-dir=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/Frameworks/
--with-ports-dir=/Users/arno/Code/macports/development/ports/
make
echo
echo now \sudo make install\
I then run sudo make install, source src_env.sh, and run a selfupdate.
And that's where I start seeing the permission problems on any
installation actions (pasted below). It does indeed seem like it's the
issue that should be cleared up by a port clean, but I'm seeing the
same behavior after that.
Any ideas or additional information that I can provide?
Thanks for your help.

There's already a port called auctex, if you haven't seen it already.
I have two emacs installed, one is Emacs.app(Cocoa), the other is emacs(for
non-graphical command line). Accordingly, I need to specify different
configuration for auctex, i.e., set -with-emacs -with-lisp-dir to different
locations. I want both Emacs.app and emacs can find the package auctex. In
this case, should I write two different port files and give the port
different names (auctex and auctex-app, for example) or should I make one
portfile with two different variants? I try the latter, but it seems that
only one variant is activated, that is, the lisp files only exist in one
lisp-dir. Are there any other options I can use to make two variants
activated at the same time?
Variants are not mutually exclusive unless you define them to be. In this case,
AUCTeX's configure script might only accept one --with-lisp-dir argument and
one --with-emacs argument. Your best bet might be separate ports, or maybe
subports. I'm not familiar with what AUCTeX installs, so I can't say whether
separate ports would step on each other's toes by trying to install the same
files.
2. How can I see the the definition of Portfiles for a particular port
return by port search xxport?
You can print a portfile to stdout by using port cat portname or open it in
your default ${EDITOR} with port edit portname. For instance, to open the
portfile for emacs-app, use port edit emacs-app. Throw in an option to pick
your editor/viewer: port edit --editor vim emacs-app.

Both emacs and emacs-app (as well as the other available emacsen) should be configured so that they'll look for lisp packages in /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. Our elisp packages should probably all install there. In this case, should I write two different port files and give the port different names (auctex and auctex-app, for example) or should I make one portfile with two different variants? I try the latter, but it seems that only one variant is activated, that is, the lisp files only exist in one lisp-dir. Are there any other options I can use to make two variants activated at the same time? You can build a port with multiple variants selected but that probably wouldn't help you in this case. You can't have multiple installations of the port active at once, different variants or otherwise. You could probably do that with subports but I'm not sure that's the best approach here. 2. How can I see the the definition of Portfiles for a particular port return by port search xxport? `port file name` will print the path to the portfile; also, `port cat name` will print the contents.
