I guess nobody finished writing that part of the guide. > Is it a Bad Idea to call an external script?

Is there a thing like post-activation ? Yes, you can write a post-activate phase. But that's not the correct place to do the type of fix you're proposing. The correct place is probably the post-build phase. You can look at the oracle-instantclient for a (convoluted) example of calling install_name_tool in a portfile (it does it in the build phase, but you probably have an existing build phase you don't want to overwrite, so you probably want post-build instead). _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
