I just selfupdated 2.3.4 on my MacOSX 10.5.8
an try to install autogen.
hans@mac:~$ sudo port install autogen
---> Computing dependencies for autogen
---> Dependencies to be installed: guile libunistring texlive-basic
texlive-bin cairo xorg-libXext xorg-libX11 xorg-bigreqsproto xorg-inputproto
I would like to leave one particular binary out of a package.
Namely, the sndfile-regtest of libsndfile is not intended
for the end user. What is the preferred way to do it?
Does macports have a 'packing list' where I could
expicitly say what to install and what not to install?

and the immediately previous two (10.7, A.K.A. Lion and 10.6, A.K.A. Snow

I know we have a port; I am experimenting with the source.
Building from the source needs ./autogen.sh to be run.

I just commited this (fixing the typos.)

I am willing to help this with ports that interest me.
Is there a way in trac to specifically select the ports
that have this problem?
not that I know of (since you don't know what is going to be

I tried searching in both the mailing list archives and trac;
If I keep MacPorts in its own prefix, it is easier to ensure that other

No, not really. You have macports stuff in its own prefix, namely,
/opt/local. However, if a given port silently picks up something
incompatible in /usr/local, if
I agree now that /usr/local is on fact a bad choice.

Having macports isolated in /opt/local DID NOT save you from this.
Removing /usr/local is what did.

I don't know how honored differs from being picked up,

PATH is where the binaries are looked for.
I am talking about libraries; compilers do not look
for libraries in PATH.
So yes PATH has a lot to do with
an old, incompatible version of openssl in
/usr/lib/libssl.*, and a port that fails to build
because it picks that up.
What happens then? Should I temporarily rename /usr
so that the port does not pick that up and builds successfully?
