You can also do use the "mpkg" target for ports with dependencies; this will cause a metapackage to be built which contains all the deps, making the package stand-alone.
I just tried that. It seems not to work quite as anticipated. $ sudo port mpkg gnucash +guile16 ... results in port packaging guile instead of guile16, which makes the resulting package useless. It seems as if port mpkg follows the original dependencies specified in the port, not those in the variant given, nor even those in the default variant. Any hints how to fix this? This functionality would probably be useful to some people who don't really want to install MacPorts at all, but just need that one package. Or is there anything else I'm doing wrong? Regards, Marc PS: If you try the command above, be prepared for a long wait. On my old iBook G4, after packaging gnucash itself, port took 15 minutes just to compute dependencies before beginning to collect them. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
