Now MacPorts will look for portfiles in the working copy and use Git instead of rsync Should look like this: rsync:///macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar Ĭhange it to point to the working copy you checked out: file:///opt/mports/macports-ports opt/local/etc/macports/nf in a text editor. Check out the ports tree from git: $ cd /opt/mports $ git clone This step is useful if you want to do port development. (Optional) Configure MacPorts to use port information from Git
configure -enable-readline $ make $ sudo make install $ make distclean configure to relocate MacPorts to another directory if needed. MacPorts uses autoconf and makefiles for installation. $ mkdir -p /opt/mports $ cd /opt/mports $ git clone $ cd macports-base $ git checkout v2.7.1 # skip this if you want to use the development version Will create /opt/mports/macports-base containing everything needed for opt/mports will be used, but you can put the source anywhere. Pick a location to store a working copy of the MacPorts code. Input/output, file text, and other special text types. The following notational conventions are used in the MacPorts Guide to distinguish between terminal Mainly used to set up mirrors and generate support files for installations on macOS. MacPorts base can be compiled on Linux (and possibly other POSIX-compatible systems) where it is
MacPorts is developed on macOS, though it is designed to be portable so it can work on other Unix-like systems,Įspecially those descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

Your operating system and its vendor-supplied software to prevent them from becoming corrupted.Īllows you to create pre-compiled binary installers of ported applications to quickly install software Provides for uninstalls and upgrades for installed ports.Ĭonfines ported software to a private “ sandbox” that keeps it from intermingling with
Users of PowerBook 1400 models are advised to skip to Mac OS 7.6 or later.Installs automatically any required support software, known as dependencies, for a given port. The PowerBook 1400 is specifically not supported by this update. Subsequent Macs with Motorola 68040 and PowerPC processors contained 32-bit clean ROMs. The reason for ending support for these Macs is that future system software releases require at least a Motorola 68030 with 32-bit clean ROMs. Macs with Motorola 68030 processors: (not 32-bit clean) Mac OS 7.5.5 is the last system software release for all remaining Macs based on the Motorola 68000 chips, as well as some other systems.
Users of Mac OS 7.5.4 may also directly update to Mac OS 7.5.5.
