macports

When I try and install MacPorts it complains 'Xcode is not installed, or was installed with UNIX Development (10.5+) or Command Line Support (10.4) deselected.' I do have Xcode installed from the Appstore so I guess I just have to install these extra parts but how ? Ive read a couple of questions on Stack Overflow about this but I think the answers must be outdated as they do notmake sense for me, I do not have an Xcode dmg I can reinstall from, and I can't see anything useful in /Developer either, or any preferences within Xcode itself. I only want Xcode for the purposes of using Macports so

Something that I've noticed recently on two different machines is that Apache2 installed via MacPorts seems to have stopped launching when I boot up. The honest truth is that I can't swear it did so before, but it's something I think I'd notice because installing the LaunchDaemon is part of my install process. In fact, if I try to reload the LaunchDaemon, it fails: $ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist org.macports.apache2: Already loaded Unless I start Apache manually (using sudo apachectl restart ), grep'ing for either "apache2" or "httpd" in my process

I am trying to instal libiconv with MacPorts. I need to build it to run in OS X 10.5 while my Mac is running 10.6. So I added this like to macports.conf : macosx_deployment_target 10.5 That supposedly force MacPorts to build the port with 10.5 SDK. However, the installed libraries still contain LC_DYLD_INFO load command which is available only in 10.6. I reinstalled the port with -v option and find that it downloads and installs a pre-built package without compiling. The package obviously was built on a 10.6 machines. The question is: how can I force MacPorts to built the port on my machine

I used python_select , it seems like it does not change the default python for executing scripts, for instance django-admin.py runserver (without python in front). How do i change this? fviktor There is /usr/bin/python , which is usually earlier in the path (has a higher precedence) than MacPort's binary folder ( /opt/local/bin/python ). The python_select script changes only /opt/local/bin/python , so you have to make sure there is no other python binary on your path taking precedence over it. Solution (as root): mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python.orig ln -s /opt/local/bin/python /usr/bin

I have PHP5 installed via macports in /opt/local/..the default location for macports. There's no portfile for pear. If I do a standard pear install from the pear site what directory location should pear be placed in to work with PHP? While the curl option works, it won't update as you update your ports. An alternative: sudo port install php5 +pear This will install the variant of php5 with pear, in the same location as downloading above, and it will update as you update macports. I had a similar issue just now, and went for installing PEAR in exactly the directory you mentioned. curl -O http:/
