Hi there.
I have an MacBookPro and I want to install Darwin ports.
I downloaded & installed MacPorts-1.7.0.pkg and now I don't know what to do.
I tried:
Code:
# port -d selfupdate
....
error 1
Command output: checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin9.7.0

checking MacPorts version... 1.7.1
checking for sw_vers... sw_vers

as I understood I need gcc or another C++ compiler.
Where can I get gcc for mac?
I am using Darwin on Mac OS X.I.I (new to both Unix and C++).
I downloaded the ncurses library from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ncurses-5.2.tgz,
but I don't know what to do with it now. Stuffit has expanded the archive, but I still have the original .tgz as well (if that's... (1 Reply)

Hello,
I was curious about how one would go about installing gnome on darwin. As far as I know it must be harder than FreeBSD because there doesn't seem to be any ports for it.
Would you have to first set up a build environment (GCC etc...) and then compile it from scratch? or is there an... (3 Replies)
This is the first time I've come across this issue
sed -i 's/"//g' iscrmireturns
sed: 1: "iscrmi": command i expects \ followed by textApparently the -i option is non-standard FreeBSD extensions - does that mean it's not available on Darwin? Strange (1 Reply)
I'm going through my book on bash and have come to a section on Shell Variables. The editing mode variables don't seem to be there, unless I'm missing something. It says no manual entry for them -- commands like HISTCMD, HISTCONTROL, HISTIGNORE, HISTFILE, HISTFILESIZE, HISTSIZE, HISTTIMEFORMAT,... (0 Replies)

SystemStarter(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SystemStarter(8)NAME
SystemStarter -- Start, stop, and restart system services
SYNOPSIS
SystemStarter [-gvxdDqn] [action [service]]
DESCRIPTION
The SystemStarter utility is deprecated. System services should instead be described by a launchd.plist(5). See launchd(8) for more
details. The launchd utility is available on Mac OS X 10.4 and later.
In earlier versions of Mac OS X, the SystemStarter utility is used to start, stop, and restart the system services which are described in the
/Library/StartupItems/ and /System/Library/StartupItems/ paths.
The optional action argument specifies which action SystemStarter performs on the startup items. The optional service argument specifies
which startup items to perform the action on. If no service is specified, all startup items will be acted on; otherwise, only the item pro-
viding the service, any items it requires, or any items that depend on it will be acted on.
During boot SystemStarter is invoked by launchd(8) and is responsible for starting all startup items in an order that satisfies each item's
requirements.
ACTIONS
start start all items, or start the item that provides the specified service and all items providing services it requires.
stop stop all items, or stop the item that provides the specified service and all items that depend on it.
restart restart all items, or restart the item providing the specified service.
OPTIONS -g (ignored)
-v verbose (text mode) startup
-x (ignored)
-r (ignored)
-d print debugging output
-D print debugging output and dependencies
-q be quiet (disable debugging output)
-n don't actually perform action on items (no-run mode)
NOTES
Unless an explicit call to ConsoleMessage is made, SystemStarter examines the exit status of the startup item scripts to determine the suc-
cess or failure of the services provided by that script.
FILES
/Library/StartupItems/ User-installed startup items.
/System/Library/StartupItems/ System-provided startup items.
SEE ALSO ConsoleMessage(8), launchd(8), launchd.plist(5), rc(8)HISTORY
The SystemStarter utility appeared in Darwin 1.0 and was extended in Darwin 6.0 to support partial startup and interprocess communication.
SystemStarter was deprecated by launchd(8) in Darwin 8.0.
