The DarwinPorts Project’s main goal is to provide an easy way to install various open-source software products on a Darwin, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, or Linux system. DarwinPorts is based on Darwin has been the open-source OS technology underlying Apple’s Mac OS X operating system back in 1999.
\nDarwinPorts is NOT Darwin, just a tools to enhance Darwin usage.
\nWe’ll try to explain in very few steps how to install and run your favorite open-source softwares without doing 2 lines of parameters, options to compile them.<\/p>\n
Requirement: MacOS X 10.2 or higher, freebsd or netbsd (gcc, autocon etc…). But well stay on the MacosX requirements: install developper tools.<\/p>\n
1-launch terminal
\n(\/Applications\/Utilities\/terminal.app)<\/p>\n
2-cd ~\/<\/i>
\n(to make sure you’re at the top of your home directory)<\/p>\n
3-cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:\/Volumes\/src\/cvs\/od login<\/i>
\n(just press enter when asked for a password)<\/p>\n
4-cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:\/Volumes\/src\/cvs\/od co -P darwinports<\/i>
\n(it will download the all the ports (963 as 5\/2\/04)<\/p>\n
5-cd darwinports\/base\/<\/p>\n
6-“.\/configure”<\/p>\n
7-make<\/i><\/p>\n
8-sudo make install<\/i>
\n(enter your root password)<\/p>\n
9-make DSTGRP=wheel<\/i><\/p>\n
10-vi \/etc\/ports\/sources.conf
\n(if your not familiar with vi or pico and have [url=http:\/\/www.barebones.com\/products\/bbedit]bbedit[\/url] installed just type in terminal bbedit \/etc\/ports\/sources.conf<\/i> ==DO NOT USE textedit==)<\/p>\n
11- insert your local path the for eg. file:\/\/\/Users\/foobar\/darwinports\/dports<\/i> in the sources.conf (change foobar to your username). Remove any other lines except the # lines which are comments.<\/p>\n
12- cd ~\/<\/i><\/p>\n
13-ls -al .cshrc<\/i>
\nif you have file not found error, then create one with bbedit named .cshrc<\/i> and put set path=($path \/opt\/local\/bin)<\/i><\/p>\n
Your done!<\/p>\n
To test if open new terminal and type for eg: port search nmap<\/i>
\nYou’ll have the following answer: “nmap net\/nmap 3.50 Port scanning utility for large networks”<\/p>\n
make sure you read [url=http:\/\/darwinports.opendarwin.org\/docs\/]DarwinPorts documentation[\/url].<\/p>\n
The DarwinPort commands has bunch of commands and options most usefull are:<\/p>\n
*portindex: force index update of the cvs tree (packadges available)<\/p>\n
*port has many options:
\n –port install packadgename<\/i> (must do a sudo! so do a “port install packadgename”)
\n –port search packadgename<\/i>
\n –port search ‘.+’<\/i> or port list<\/i> (displays all ports available)
\n –port deps packadgename<\/i> (will display the dependencies of a packadge)
\n –port uninstall packadgename (must do a sudo! so do a sudo port uninstall portname<\/i>)<\/p>\n
At this time there’s no update for installed ports meaning that if you installed for eg nmap you have to uninstall (sudo port uninstall nmap<\/i>)<\/i> then reinstall it with the latest one (“sudo port install nmap<\/i>).<\/p>\n
