I want several machines on my network to be able to use some libraries installed with MacPorts (the libraries are ImageMagick and its dependent image libs).
I do not want to build and install for each machine -- is it possible to tell macports to install to say /Volumes/network_drive/macports
? Then, I'll just configure all of my machines to add /Volumes/network_drive/macports/bin
to $PATH
.
Is this possible, or even good practice?
Good idea. As far as getting macports to build into
/Volumes/netowrk_drive/macports
, I should build macports itself with./configure --prefix /Volumes/network_drive/macports
-- sound correct? – schworer – 2011-01-27T21:35:41.177Thats what the docs say - and does make sense re configure - although I would not be surprised if there is a port that fails due to hard coding + those which end up in /Applications – user151019 – 2011-01-27T21:38:51.053
