The stubs are there for projects that linked against /usr/X11. All you really need to do is setup symlinks to redirect them to your MP prefix. I recommend starting with the XQuartz hook (which is installed on the system to setup the links to /opt/X11) and then just changing them to the MacPorts prefix (/opt/local in the example below): sudo port -v install xorg launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist sudo /usr/X11/libexec/xquartz_postinst.sh sudo rm /usr/X11 sudo rm /usr/X11R6 sudo ln -s /opt/local /usr/X11 sudo ln -s /opt/local /usr/X11R6 Note that loading the launchd.plist requires logout and login for $DISPLAY to propagate. --Jeremy > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: Kevin Reid <kpr...@switchb.org> >> Subject: Re: How do I cause standalone X11 apps to use MacPorts X11? >> Date: March 26, 2014 at 13:12:54 EDT >> To: MacPorts Users <macports-us...@lists.macosforge.org> >> >> On Mar 26, 2014, at 10:07, Jeremy Lavergne <jer...@lavergne.gotdns.org> >> wrote: >> >>> This might really depend on the application: is it checking for x11 or >>> giving up based on the OS? >> >> The dialog does not come from the application but from the system-provided >> X11.app (this is observable by Dock/menu bar) which is a nonfunctional stub >> (this is what my research says). >> >> It sounds like the assumption is that when you install third-party X11 as >> instructed by the dialog, it will _replace_ the system-provided X11.
