I try to install MacPorts and get this
$ sudo make install

I can create the directory with

I am also able to install MacPorts with the installer .pgk, but then:
sudo port install htop

Well, try the following:
Reboot into single user mode, this is archieved by holding down alt(option) + s while rebooting.
At the prompt /sbin/fsck -fy(careful, QWERTZ-Layout), after that type /sbin/mount -wu. Now /bin/chmod 1775 /. At last /bin/sync,then exit.
This will check your filesystem integrity and correct permissions for your root directory.

Check that root’s UID is actually 0 on your system: sudo id -u should print 0.
This wasn’t the case on my system after updating to Mavericks. If it isn’t, you can do the following to fix it:
- boot into single user mode
- change to
/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users - check that root’s UID is wrong in
root.plistusingplutil -p root.plist - if it is wrong, start by making a backup:
cp root.plist root.plist.orig - convert the plist to xml format using
plutil -fmt xml1 root.plist - use your favorite editor to change the number after
<key>uid</key>to0 - convert the plist back to binary format using
plutil -fmt binary1 root.plist

The UID of root on your system was: 217 _krbtgt (Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket)
There IS a user called _krbtgt (Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket) in
/System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default/users,
that indeed is user 217.

I’m just dropping in to say that using a soft link to accomplish this is a terrible, no-good, horrible idea.
One of the key things about writing software is reproduceability — you want to be able to get the same results every time. These systems are so complex that you want to reduce all invisible sources of error.
Having a soft link is an invisible source of error. It’s the sort of thing you’ll forget in a month, then move to a different machine, and wonder why you are getting different results — or, you’ll try to upgrade your system, and you’ll get weird errors because it’s not expecting a softlink there.
Moreover, this isn’t guaranteed to work — in particular, it’s not clear that you will get the correct system include files, which have certainly changed between iterations of gcc.
gcc_select is a systematic way of doing the same thing which will work predictably, or in the very worst case you can file a bug report and get an eventual fix or fix it yourself.
Unfortunately 
gcc_select does not affect which compiler XCode uses so it’s not the way to go if you need to work in XCode (which I do). I still don’t know what that way might be.
Я просто заглядываю, чтобы сказать, что использование мягкой ссылки для этого — ужасная, нехорошая, ужасная идея.
Одна из ключевых особенностей написания программного обеспечения — воспроизводимость — вы хотите получать одинаковые результаты каждый раз. Эти системы настолько сложны, что вы хотите уменьшить все невидимые источники ошибок.
Наличие мягкой ссылки — невидимый источник ошибки. Это то, что вы забудете в месяц, затем перейдите на другую машину и зададитесь вопросом, почему вы получаете разные результаты — или вы попытаетесь обновить свою систему, и вы получите странные ошибки, потому что это не ожидая там softlink.
Кроме того, это не гарантирует работу — в частности, не ясно, что вы получите правильные системные файлы, которые, безусловно, изменились между итерациями gcc.
gcc_select — это систематический способ сделать то же самое, что будет работать предсказуемо, или в самом худшем случае вы можете подать отчет об ошибке и получить возможное исправление или исправить его самостоятельно.
К сожалению:-( gcc_select не влияет на то, какой компилятор XCode использует, поэтому он не подходит, если вам нужно работать в XCode (что я и делаю). Я до сих пор не знаю, как это может быть.

Few Questions
First of all, I am very mac illiterate as I have been using windows all my life. I am enquiring to see about getting some help on the whole wine thing. I have been looking at the wiki and FAQs but Im lost. I installed wine from sourceforge but when I go to click wineinstall in the tools folder, this is what I get:
Last login: Sun Sep 18 21:31:41 on ttys000
/Users/christiankirby/Downloads/wine-1.3.13/tools/wineinstall ; exit;
Christian-Kirbys-MacBook-Pro:~ christiankirby$ /Users/christiankirby/Downloads/wine-1.3.13/tools/wineinstall ; exit;
Wine Installer v1.0
You’re running this from the wrong directory.
Change to the Wine source’s main directory and try again.
logout
[Process completed]
If anyone can help me on how to compile or whatever else it is I may need, it would be appreciated. Can either email me at cstjohn51@charter.net or send me a private message, thank you.

Installing Wine on a Mac requires installing Linux/UNIX dependencies. I
recommend using either MacPorts, Fink or osxwinebuilder (Google for it)
to install the dependencies and Wine itself.
Before installing ANY program in Wine I highly recommend visiting the
Applications Database. Some of the hints do work with the Mac.

Unless you want to use a Third Pary App that uses Wine(http://wiki.winehq.org/ThirdPartyApplications), yes you’ll have to compile Wine yourself and use it all command line.
This is easy on Macports though, you just open up Terminal and type…
port install wine-devel
to get the latest development version installed… it handles getting everything you need, downloading them, and compiling them… so you just let it go.

Do what doh123 said to do:
port install wine-devel
This will install the wine-devel version on your system and configure
your system so Wine can be used.

That’s because you need to run this particular command as root. And to do that, you tack a ‘sudo’ on the beginning of the command, like so:
sudo port install wine-devel
Now (after you enter your password at the prompt) you’ll be able to install Wine.

As to your question, Macports has to access and download source code from many places, including sourceforge, so it can build it… so yes you need to let it download.
also
current Macports does not need to be run as root, and some things break if you sudo it, so something might be wrong with your installation.
This is beyond the help of this message board since its not a Wine issue.. but…
do a…
sudo port selfupdate
and make sure its all up to date.
Are you on an admin user account… or the same account that installed Macports? its install location (/opt/local) might be off limits to your current user.
you can do this command with a sudo to fix the folder if its messed up…
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/local
because its supposed to be full read/write

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/local
Do NOT run that. That recursively grants rwx permissions to *every* user on the system for *everything* in that directory. Bad idea. The only time 777 should be granted is on temp directories in conjunction with a sticky bit of some sort.
Just prefix any «port» subcommands with sudo and you’ll be safe. -r

You should not get this option from the Mac Menu.
You will have to install from terminal.

/opt/local does not exist normally.. its only Macports and nothing else… nothing has been installed in it yet, so its just Macports executables and config files which are already supposed to be all users.
Macports is designed to not be run with sudo anymore… and just like running Wine with sudo, you can really mess things up, and some ports won’t even install if you sudo it.

You can have your own opinions on the 777 issue… I wouldn’t base it on out-dated documentation, but I’ll stick with what actually works. If you want more info thats up to date, read through change logs, not old documentation thats kept up as poorly as Wine’s.

I would, as a security expert, never set a directory or file to full
access on any operating system without good reason. In this case it
may be possible to get away with rw-rw-r-s which will assign the
current user read/write permissions.

You can have your own opinions on the 777 issue…
I base my opinion on the fact that 777 permissions are dangerous even on single-user systems. Wine is not a sandbox, anything you grant 777 to is opening up a hole big enough to drive a truck in. Couple that with the fact MacPorts can be used to install things like web servers, application servers, etc., and you’re asking for trouble.
I am a professional sysadmin. I’ve cleaned up far too many webserver hacks because people don’t care enough to bother setting sane permissions and ownership on blog installs. It would be one thing to recursively chown the MacPorts /opt/local directory to your user/group to make installs easier; it’s another thing entirely to give everyone and their dog permission to write to any file or directory, including binaries.
I could present hypotheticals but I won’t. Wine and 777 permissions on system-level directories is not safe. This should be obvious.

Hi Guys,
I’ve just upgraded to Lion 10.7.3, and am having some issues with installing Xcode and a bunch of other binaries I’m using, for a customized DVD burning application.
All was working fine on 10.6.8, but now after installing Xcode 4.3, and some associated binaries (in particular cdrtools) I’m having issues with the «mkisofs» binary — which doesn’t appear as it did previously, in my /opt/local/bin/ directory.
Has anyone else experienced this, or has anyone got any suggestions about how to get mkisofs installed?
Just wondering if it’s Xcode 4.3 related, and if downgrading to 4.2 might work?
Regards
Steve
-
#2
With XCode 4.3, the command line utilities and compilers are no longer installed by default. Start XCode, go to preferences->downloads->components. Then click on install next to command line tools.
I don’t think mkisofs is part of xcode though. If you found it in /opt/local/bin before, it is probably part of a macports package.

4.3.2 is the newest version on the App store, if that helps you at all.

#4
Thanks guys,
I’ve installed the command line tools (found that after another error), and also have the latest version installed 4.3.2
Re-loaded Lion a couple of times to ensure a clean install with no rubbish anywhere (doesn’t take long now), but still the same issues when I run the «ls -1 /opt/local/bin/» command to see if it’s installed.
I got a couple of previous errors, but this post helped me with those issues relating to where XCode 4.3.2 is now installed:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/…port-functionality-after-installing-xcode-4-3
Didn’t fix the mkisofs / cdrtools issue though.
-
#5
Thanks guys,
Didn’t fix the mkisofs / cdrtools issue though.
Did you install the cdrtools port?
-
#6
I installed cdrtools using:
sudo port install cdrtools
. . . . previously with 10.6.8, was that correct?
Not sure how to check it’s installed properly though (novice at terminal)
-
#7
Looks like mkisofs is no longer part of cdrtools. It is however part of dvdrtools, so install that instead. The two ports are incompatible, so you will need to remove cdrtools before you can install dvdrtools.
-
#8
OK thanks, I’ll give that a go.
Can I ask where you saw the info, as I looked for this but until now, hadn’t found anything.
Thanx
-
#9
Well I installed cdrtools and saw I had the same problem as you, so I did «port info cdrtools» and saw in the description that it conflicts with dvdrtools. A quick google search found that dvdrtools was a branch of cdrtools, so I gave it a go and there was the tool in question.
-
#10
. . . and the correct way to remove cdrtools in terminal?
-
#11
port uninstall cdrtools
You are familiar with the man command right? if not, type «man port» and you will see all kinds of info.
-
#12
Yes I’ve used the man command previously to check the installation went OK.
But using the command you’ve mentioned returns:
Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix
Should I be using the sudo command?
ie: sudo port uninstall cdrtools ?
———-
. . . . OK got it, just installing dvdrtools now.
OK, installed and running: man mkisofs returns installation info.
But do I still need both cdrtools and dvdrw-tools as per my previous 10.6.8 installs, to burn the DVD’s?
Thanx

You’d have to as the owner of the repo, @diimdeep .
I don’ provide binaries in my repo, just the source. I do however provide a MacPorts ports tree that contains a port:afsctool that strives to install the latest stable release: https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop .
I installed PortAuthority and MacPorts but if i search for afsctool, it only finds brkirch.wordpress.com/afsctool/ 1.6.4 version.
I try to install your version or any other afsctool which works best in Mojave. Thanks
Please follow the instructions from the macstrop README (go to the macstrop project page on github and scroll down). You need to tell MacPorts to use the macstrop ports tree if you want to see my version of port:afsctool . Note that the port doesn’t yet include the latest changes on here; I’m waiting for more tester feedback.
If you want the latest version you can install the dependencies through MacPorts and then build the afsctool sources as instructed here.
So i need to do this part of Readme:
%> sudo -u macports git clone —depth=1 —no-single-branch http://github.com/RJVB/macstrop.git /opt/local/site-ports
(the —depth and —no-single-branch options are optional of course.)
Then, edit ${prefix}/etc/macports/sources.conf (${prefix} is where MacPorts is installed; by default it’s /opt/local). Towards the end of the file, add a line above the line that has [default] at the end:
file:///opt/local/site-ports
and save the file. If you do not want this repository to be updated automatically whenever you do port selfupdate or port sync, you’ll want to add [nosync] at the end of the line you added.
Now, do
%> (cd /opt/local/site-ports ; portindex)
and the new ports will be available.
I have default settings in both MacPorts and PortAuthority.
sudo -u macports git clone --depth=1 --no-single-branch http://github.com/RJVB/macstrop.git /opt/local/site-ports
fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘/opt/local/site-ports’: Permission denied
This might be too complicated for me to install. Do you think there is other afsctool compatible with Mojave which is easy to install? Thanks
OOps, you found an error in the README instructions! Can you try with these updated instructions?
«`
%> sudo git clone —depth=1 —no-single-branch http://github.com/RJVB/macstrop.git /opt/local/site-ports
%> sudo chown -R macports /opt/local/site-ports
This makes sure that the resulting tree will be readable by the «macporst» user. (The —depth and —no-single-branch options are optional of course.)
To update the tree later on, use
%> sudo -u macports git -C /opt/local/site-ports pull
«`
No error this time, but if i search using PortAuthority, still it shows only brkirch 1.6.4.
Any RSS-feed which updates when you update afsctool?
Does the path change? I used this earlier:
sudo /usr/local/bin/afsctool -ckl path/here
I have no experience with PortAuthority, but it should behave the same as the `port` terminal command.
Of course you will need to follow the entire instruction set. In particular you have to add /opt/local/site-ports to sources.conf on a line *before* the default source, and run portindex in /opt/local/site-ports.
I’ve never tested, but in principle the tree in /opt/local/site-ports should be updated when you run `port selfupdate`, as long as you don’t tell MacPorts NOT to do that (so no nosync keyword on the site-ports line in sources.conf).
If i run this:
(cd /opt/local/site-ports ; portindex)
These are last rows in Terminal window:
Adding port x11/xvisbell
error renaming «/tmp/mports.portindex.FSbgu5HU» to «/opt/local/site-ports/PortIndex»: permission denied
while executing
«file rename -force $tempportindex $outpath»
(file «/opt/local/bin/portindex» line 329)
And PortAuthority still don’t find it.
Thanks for your patience with this, I appreciate the feedback from someone who is not an experienced developer or Unix user! I’ve clearly been assuming too much that potential users of my ports do have that kind of experience.
The `chown` command you executed earlier changed the ownership of /opt/local/site-ports to the «macports» user. Simplifying things a bit, that means that every command that modifies anything inside that directory has to executed as that user, i.e. with `sudo -u macports` in front of the command.
So:
%> (cd /opt/local/site-ports ; sudo -u macports portindex)
I’ve looked at the README a bit more, there should be no other commands that need this same prefix. GIven why you installed my ports I would advise against following the instructions concerning the git hooks; those may become relevant if ever you want to install other ports but they’re not required for installing just afsctool.
I did this:
(cd /opt/local/site-ports ; sudo -u macports portindex)
I can see afsctool 1.6.9.8 in PortAuthority. I then tried to install it using PortAuthority.
PortAuthority installed it 1-2 hours and it Pinged 76 different servers for some reason.
In end of log was this and it says afsctool failed:
sparsehash/internal/hashtable-common.h
x ./opt/local/include/sparsehash/internal/sparseconfig.h
—> Cleaning sparsehash
—> Removing work directory for sparsehash
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port afsctool failed
—> Some of the ports you installed have notes:
libpsl has the following notes:
libpsl API documentation is provided by the port ‘libpsl-docs’.
Then Kernel Panic.
PortAuthority don’t list it in Installed window.
Now if i try to install again using PortAuthority:
—> Computing dependencies for afsctool.
.
.—> Dependencies to be installed: cmake libcxx
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port afsctool failed
PortAuthority installed it 1-2 hours and it Pinged 76 different servers for some reason.
I would have to see the full log to figure out why that is, but between the required git, sparsehash and cmake there are quite about 70 dependencies to install. It does not explain why it took so long; is PortAuthority configured to build everything from source? What kind of computer are you running this on?
You can attach the log file here, but you would probably have to add «.txt» to the filename.
Then Kernel Panic.
Did you really get a kernel panic, i.e. did you have to reboot the machine? If so that is something you really should report on trac.macports.org!
—> Dependencies to be installed: cmake libcxx
You should not be needing libcxx if you are running «Mojave»!
Please try without PortAuthority. As I said, I don’t know it, and I have no idea how well maintained it is (e.g. if it works correctly on the latest Mac OS). In a terminal, do
%> sudo port clean afsctool
%> sudo port install afsctool
If that succeeds, fine. If not, please try a clean install
%> sudo port -u -f uninstall active
%> sudo port clean afsctool
%> sudo port install afsctool
It was kernel panic. MacBook Pro Retina. Mojave.

Did this take as long as it did with PortAuthority?
Still, we got further now. With a bit of luck the output from the following command will help me understand the problem:
%> sudo port -vd install afsctool
Just copy the output here, there shouldn’t be too much now.
It was faster.

OKKKK, I think I understand now. There was probably a dependency conflict in my version of ports cmake and libcxx which resulted in them not installing correctly:

This is a good time to try if
%> port selfupdate
works without errors. If all is well you should see that it pulls new versions into /opt/local/site-ports . It may give a permissions error, in which case you’d have to do the `sudo -u macports` prefix trick (and tell me about it!)
Afterwards,
%> port info cmake libcxx
should show that cmake no longer depends on libcxx and that libcxx no longer depends on cmake. If that is not the case, please tell me, and do
%> sudo -u macports git -C /opt/local/site-ports pull
Afterwards, do
%> sudo port clean cmake libcxx
just to be sure, and then do
%> sudo port install afsctool
If that fails again, then please repeat the earlier command to get output:
%> sudo port -vd install afsctool
Thanks again for your patience! I hope you appreciate learning a little bit more about this kind of computer usage

Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
Home:~ Henrietta $
Oh my.
I do this so infrequently myself that I forgot that it is indeed the official way to do this with elevated privileges (https://www.macports.org/install.php). So my bad, you have to do
%> sudo port -v selfupdate
(`sudo -u macports foo` executes a command «foo» as the macports user, while `sudo foo` executes that command as the «superuser», aka root.)
For some reason i didn’t get notification for your above post at all.
sudo port -v selfupdate
Last rows of log:
—> MacPorts base is already the latest version
The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
port upgrade outdated
> —> MacPorts base is already the latest version
OK, that suggests that updating of 3rd party repositories doesn’t work, or maybe never worked.
So, you’d have to follow the instructions for updating macstrop manually:
%> sudo -u macports git -C /opt/local/site-ports pull
this should some a list of updated files (which in themselves probably won’t mean much to you). Note that this git command must run as the macports user because /opt/local/site-ports is still owned by that user.
Then, follow the advice you saw:
%> sudo port upgrade outdated
And then … try again to install afsctool as shown before.
Should i now run sudo port upgrade outdated and then install…

Yes…
I did now sudo port upgrade outdated but not sure anymore what install instructions to use?
Just this?
sudo port install afsctool
Sorry, yes.
If ever that fails again then do
%> sudo port -vd install afsctool
to get the relevant failure output directly.
BTW, if you do
%> sudo -u macports git -C /opt/local/site-ports describe
you should see this as output:

on my 2011 MBP it takes about 20 minutes I think. I’m a bit surprised it would build from source for you but there must be an explanation for that.
The good news is that it shouldn’t be required very often.
First it failed then i think it worked. Last is «fatal: No tags can describe».

This is strange, but can have been a temporary network glitch.

Ah, well that’s fine too.
So now you should be able to run afsctool 
Yes it works now perfectly!!! Thanks!!!
Did all that install any not needed stuff i could clean out using some CLI magic?
Great! Thanks for your patience!
You can clean up whatever there’s left to clean up with
%> sudo port clean —all installed
