Hi TheDOG, First off, let me apologize for not having the MacPorts Solfege port up to date for the past several months. I hope to get it up to date soon. But Solfege 3.14.9 still works fine.
Now for your questions. For the first question, I'd say ignore the advice about +quartz if you don't understand it. I don't understand it myself, and I'm the one who made the MacPorts port. I just use X11. That's the normal way to do it. I wrote the original wiki page on installing via MacPorts, and Jim Lynch, who I haven't been able to contact, added the part about quartz. It might be good advice for someone who is only using MacPorts for Solfege, but I use MacPorts for other things, and I worry that Jim's advice might break other MacPorts software. Also, ignore what he says about needing to install X11. Since Mac OS 10.5, X11 has come installed by default. Second question may be tougher: did you try to download and install the latest version of Xcode Tools? If not, you will probably need to download and install it. Unfortunately, it's a huge (~1GB) file. If you did install Xcode Tools, you may have done it without the "Unix Development" box checked (see this website: http://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode). If that's what happened, you just need to re-run the installer for Xcode Tools with the box checked. What happens if you go to Terminal and type "which make"? --Allen On 5/19/10 5:06 PM, TheDOG wrote: > Macbook Running 10.5.8 > > MacPorts is downloaded and installed. > > I am following the installation instructions at > http://www.solfege.org/Solfege/SolfegeViaMacPorts > > First Question: How do I do the following? > > "if you want to use the mac display system rather than X, add +quartz and > +no_x11 to /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf." > > Second question: Upon typing "sudo port install solfege" I receive the > following message in Terminal, what am I doing wrong? > > "---> Computing dependencies for solfegeError: Unable to execute port: > can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: > '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its > MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it? > Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get > complete output." > > Thanks for your help!!! > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Solfege-devel mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe", or visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/solfege-devel
