#1406 macports base config

msl Mon 31 Jan 2011

Hi All,

I'm writing a macports configuration for fantom and wanted to canvas the Mac users to see what configurations you use during development.

Macports tends to lean towards the separation of installation and data, which means I'll probably end up setting:

FAN_HOME=/opt/local/share/java/fantom
FAN_ENV=util::PathEnv
FAN_ENV_PATH=~/.fan/

My inclination is to put examples/ under a variant (so not there by default), and ideally the same for src/ and doc/.

However, I expect that the IDEs expect src/ and doc/ to be under the FAN_HOME (haven't tried removing them to see what breaks yet), so I may leave those where they are for the time being.

Feedback welcome!

Actually - ended up being much simpler than initially thought.

A couple of variants (all active by default):

  • +docs -- include docs
  • +examples -- include examples
  • +src -- include source

And rather than setting anything in the environment, it just suggests a .profile entry at the end of the install and all done.

Original question still stands - interested to here what environment people are running under to suggest to new users.

Any update on this?

Not too sure what's happening with this. The ticket was raised with the macports folk a while back but seems to have sat still for the last 3 weeks. Have just bumped the ticket to see what happens.

It should now be available if you:

sudo port selfupdate
port info fantom
sudo port install fantom
