Salutations, I'm in the middle of a clean installation on a mac with Sonoma 14.1.2 with an M2 chip. The instructions have been incomplete and have varied significantly from the screenshots on the website. After I gave up with the tarball, I installed MacPorts which had some issues (beyond your control) to use that installer, and it appears I've finished, but the list of notes is extensive and I thought I'd share that with you. As of now, I'll be going through these to figure out which are important and which are just notes.
Some of the ports you installed have notes: db48 has the following notes: The Java and Tcl bindings are now provided by the db48-java and db48-tcl subports. libidn has the following notes: GNU libidn2 is the successor of GNU libidn. It comes with IDNA 2008 and TR46 implementations and also provides a compatibility layer for GNU libidn. libpsl has the following notes: libpsl API documentation is provided by the port 'libpsl-docs'. lilypond has the following notes: Pre-installation note for 'mactex' variant: MacTeX or another external TeXLive distribution gets used for installation instead of MacPorts's texlive packages; the path to the TeX distribution's binary directory (for example '/Library/TeX/texbin') must be added to 'binpath' in 'macports.conf' *before* installing this port. Note that TeX is not needed after installation. lzma has the following notes: The LZMA SDK program is installed as "lzma_alone", to avoid conflict with LZMA Utils openldap has the following notes: A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting openldap with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup: sudo port load openldap python311 has the following notes: To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by the 'python' or 'python3' commands), run one or both of: sudo port select --set python python311 sudo port select --set python3 python311 python312 has the following notes: To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by the 'python' or 'python3' commands), run one or both of: sudo port select --set python python312 sudo port select --set python3 python312 Regards, Mike
