Re: Upgrade to Sierra from Mavericks

Can you explain more what you mean by this? 1) The lack of a gfortran meant that install errors were found using the restore_ports.tcl script. I don't think there should be any port which tries to build using an executable called "gfortran". A port such as gcc49 installs gfortran-mp-4.9. David

Re: openmpi is not using gcc7

Hello Chao-Chin, This is not a bug. Note the text in the port description for openmpi-default: "THIS SUBPORT WRAPS MACPORTS' DEFAULT COMPILER FOR C/C++ (AND THE FORTRAN COMPILER SELECTED BY THE VARIANT, IF ANY)" So, you have built OpenMPI for clang for C/C++ and gfortran (from gcc7) for Fortran.

Regarding +x11 vs +quartz, you can use a line like this (from PortGroup active_variants) to check that dependents (e.g. gtk2) have the right variant (namely, yes +quartz and not +x11): require_active_variants gtk2 quartz x11 David On Fri, Jun 15, 2018 at 6:53 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > On

Re: Upgrading gpsd

To install a variant, you would write "port install gpsd +xgps". I believe the note is saying that after this installation you will now have the xgps and xgspspeed programs: from this port gpsd, not from some other port. David On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 2:08 PM, Dave Horsfall

Re: Cannot uninstall local port with invalid version number

Hi, I'm not sure about how to fix your problem, but I believe the root cause is that you used something very strange as a revision. I suspect you meant to use "0.97.114.105.102.115.97.104.97.1" as a version not a revision. In our terminology, revisions mean updates to the packaging in the

Re: trying to install ATLAS

ATLAS just always takes a long time to build. It stands for "Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra System," so all that time is the automatic tuning. If you want a quicker build, use OpenBLAS or the built-in Accelerate framework. David On Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 8:21 AM, Joshua Kordani

Re: OpenModelica?

I believe the "known bugs" in question for use of Accelerate may be fixed by our current use of the veclibfort port as an intermediate layer between Fortran and Accelerate. David On Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 1:27 PM, Adam Dershowitz wrote: > I wasn’t able to confirm if that bug

Re: Installing gcc6 on a PPC Mac Mini 10.4 gives me hell

For the record, you can always stop a build by typing CTRL-C, and it will not corrupt anything. Only at the install stage are any files permanently changed. If you do "port clean" after stopping the build, you will be right back where you were before the build. David On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 4:13

Re: Activating multiple versions of a port.

Sorry, you can't do that either. Only one version of a port may be active at a time. MacPorts does not in fact record the specific version of the library used in building a port, and the point is that the absolute path is generally the same for the files of different versions of a port, so there

Re: Installing a specific version of a port

You can't specify which version of a port you want to install. You can only install the current version. If you really need an older version for some reason, you'll need to dig the old Portfile out of the repository on GitHub and use that. David On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 9:21 AM, Michael

Re: Requesting new variant for octave and arpack

Hello Manav, ATLAS is LAPACK installed from MacPorts, so what you are asking for is already available with octave +atlas. The OpenBLAS port, if installed with +lapack, also provides LAPACK, in which case it can be used with Octave as "octave +openblas". David On Sun, Sep 9, 2018 at 9:49 AM,

Dear Sarah, The info at https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling only says that uninstalling is a drastic step in the context of trying to solve some issue with macports (i.e. it could probably solved without uninstalling). But there is no problem with uninstalling macports
