Notes on the Darwin ports collection

Notes on using the Darwin Ports Collection

  • GNU-Darwin project
  • GNU-Darwin Ports Collection -- based on the excellent FreeBSD Ports Tree, a must for unix-luvin' OS X users

    • error: Makefile:##: *** missing sparator.

    If you get an error on make which looks something like this:

    Makefile:19: *** missing separator.

    ...you are using GNU Make. try bsdmake instead. Replace the symlink to /usr/bin/make with a symlink from /usr/bin/bsdmake

    sudo rm /usr/bin/make
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/bsdmake /usr/bin/make

    Libtool

    I had to sudo touch /usr/local/share/libtool/ltconfig to fix a libtool complaint. First you'll need to sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/libtool though.
