Hi, I have been extremely satisfied with MacPorts on my Mac. I love that MacPorts is self-contained and the ports and their dependencies don't touch the rest of the system. I compiled it with:
--prefix=~/macports --with-tclpackage=~/macports/Library/Tcl and everything is happily isolated in my home directory. MacPorts works so well that I would like to build it on a Linux system and use it there. I'm (unfortunately) using SuSE (SLES) Linux. Running configure without options died here: checking objc/objc.h usability... no checking objc/objc.h presence... no checking for objc/objc.h... no configure: error: Can't locate Objective C runtime headers I don't know a lot about Linux, but I expected this. Can you recommend some configure options that might allow MacPorts to build on a vanilla SuSE/SLES Linux system? (Is it possible for me to turn off the Mac-specific things?) If there is no way to build MacPorts on a Linux system, is there a next-best package management system that: 1. Works on the command-line. 2. Seamlessly builds packages and their dependencies from source. 3. Lets me locate my packages and dependencies in an entirely self-contained way, not touching the rest of the system. 4. Works as well as MacPorts. Thanks. -JS _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
