I'm new to macOS and I've tried to install liberation fonts with macports:

sudo port install liberation-fonts

But it looks like this doesn't install the fonts on the system. When I open Inkcape I don't see the fonts. I used this command to find where they are located:

port contents liberation-fonts
Port liberation-fonts @2.1.5_1 contains:
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Italic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf
  /opt/local/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf

Do I need to click on every font and install it manually or is there a way to automatically install the fonts? Or maybe do I need to reboot to install the fonts? I can't find any information how to install the fonts, Google AI suggestion only says that installing macport is enough. Then why the fonts are not installed? Do I need to refresh the font cache like on Linux? Or maybe there is a different reason why installed fonts don't appear in Inkscape?

I am trying to compile (from source, I am aware that there is a port but I need to compile from source) a library (GKlib) with MacPorts gcc14 on Sonoma 14.7,3. MacPorts is up to date I have set thing sup with git clone https://github.com/KarypisLab/GKlib.git cd GKlib make config cc=gcc-mp-14 prefix=../GKlibInstall make make results in: /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 -I/Users/gerben/RenskeDev/Leon/fromsource/GKlib/. -I/Users/gerben/RenskeDev/Leon/fromsource/GKlib/test -DLINUX -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c99 -fno-strict-aliasing -march=native -fPIC -Werror -Wall -pedantic -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-but-set-variable -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-label -DNDEBUG -DNDEBUG2 -DHAVE_EXECINFO_H -DHAVE_GETLINE -O3 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.2.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=14.7 -MD -MT CMakeFiles/GKlib.dir/b64.c.o -MF CMakeFiles/GKlib.dir/b64.c.o.d -o CMakeFiles/GKlib.dir/b64.c.o -c /Users/gerben/RenskeDev/Leon/fromsource/GKlib/b64.c In file included from /Users/gerben/RenskeDev/Leon/fromsource/GKlib/GKlib.h:32, from /Users/gerben/RenskeDev/Leon/fromsource/GKlib/b64.c:20: /opt/local/lib/gcc14/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin23/14.2.0/include-fixed/stdio.h:83:8: error: unknown type name 'FILE' 83 | extern FILE *__stdinp; | ^~~~ A test file (Hello World) in the directory above compiles fine. I’ve seen messages with this kind of trouble but I don’t understand exactly where this is going wrong. gcc14 has a 'translated/fixed' stdio.h from Apple (/opt/local/lib/gcc14/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin23/14.2.0/include-fixed/stdio.h) that starts with: #ifndef _STDIO_H_ #define _STDIO_H_ #include #include __BEGIN_DECLS extern FILE *__stdinp; When testing with the test file (a simple Hello World), the culprit seems to be -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.2.sdk My guess is that I need to make sure make etc. add another -isysroot before the Apple SDK one. Is that correct (because then I have to find out how). It’s been far too long I have been doing stuff like this, so I could use tips. Thanks,

I have an old MacBook which cannot be upgraded to anything higher than Catalina (at least officially) and I had been using Homebrew but since now it's not supported it tries to compile every package and that takes a very long time, so I switched to MacPorts. I'm trying to install the ncdu port but it depends on zig, MacPorts fetches zig-0.11.0_0.darwin_19.x86_64 but the build fails with error: command execution failed. I checked here https://ports.macports.org/port/zig/details/ and noticed that indeed it doesn't work with Catalina because it requires darwin >= 20. I manually downloaded zig 0.10.1 and it works fine so my question is: Is there a way to make MacPorts use the zig version that I installed manually and take that one as a dependency for installing ncdu (a previous version if possible). It's my first time using MacPorts so any help is really appreciated, thanks.

So I know how to do that with 'brew' on my OSX 10.11.6 but "How do I ask Macports to install a dependency package locally?" And I don't take 'No, this is NOT allowed' for an answer. There is a number of reasons as to why 'allowing local source' to be incorporated into 'macport' maintained system is important The most promising tip I reviewed so far is from this previous post: #1 credited to Lothar Haeger on the Macports mailing On my system, I am running MacFUSE 4.10.0. Installed via Native Apple .pkg installation. Current MacPorts only goes so far as osxfuse @3.8.3 and somehow it FAILED at fetching it. I need to get Macports to know this latest version of MacFUSE. And my original failed port task is to install 'sudo port install android-file-transfer-linux', it calls osxfuse and broke at that point...

macOS Ventura with a 'MacPorts' installation that includes GNU replacements for numerous *"Apple-sourced"* utilities including ls. The original ls is located at /bin/ls, the GNU/MacPorts version of ls is located at /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/ls. The GNU version of ls works for most things, but in some cases (one in particular) I need the *"Apple-sourced"* version of ls. For example, to list the 'file flags' (ref man chflags), I need the O option... the GNU version does not provide this. I'd like to set an alias in ~/.zshrc that handles ls -lO, and possibly other options unique to the *"Apple-sourced"* version of ls. I've tried several aliases in ~/.zshrc that didn't work; e.g.

alias ls -lO='/bin/ls -lO'

How to do this?

I use a 2023 M2 MBP running Ventura 13.7.2. To augment Apple's rather paltry offerings of CL utilities, I depend on MacPorts. Unfortunately, MacPorts does not have a replacement/alternative for whereis. If you've ever used Apple's native whereis you may have noticed that it has some ***shortcomings***; e.g.:

/usr/bin/whereis find
find: /usr/bin/find /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/man/man1/find.1.gz

First - it only reports on native apps**See EDIT 1 below**. Its **app** searches are restricted by Apple, and apparently this cannot be over-ridden by any user. Second - as you can see above, it has no such restrictions on searching for manuals. In this case, it reports on the manual location for the find tool which was installed from MacPorts. Third - the native whereis found the manpage for find without benefit of the MANPATH environment variable - it is not set on my system. Fourth - AFAIK, that leaves only manpath (another Apple-sourced CL utility) as a resource for finding the location of manuals. However, **as I read** man manpath - it's not getting it from there either! So that's my question: How does Apple's whereis command find the location of system manuals? Have I mis-read man manpath? Can someone explain the process? Also, I'd be interested to know if Apple publishes the source files for manpath and whereis. --- #### EDIT 1: "What is meant by native apps?" From man whereis on my system (dated "August 22, 2002, for macOS 13.7"): >The default path searched is the string returned by the sysctl(8) utility for the “user.cs_path” string, with /usr/libexec and the current user's $PATH appended. On my system:

% sysctl user.cs_path
user.cs_path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

WRT ***"... Its app searches are restricted by Apple, and apparently this cannot be over-ridden by any user."***: You may refer to [this post](https://github.com/seamusdemora/seamusdemora.github.io/blob/master/MacStuff.md#39-whereis-vs-which-and-why-Apple-sucks) which was based on some research I did a while ago. Referring to man sysctl on my current mac, is the following: >COMPATIBILITY The -w option has been deprecated and is silently ignored.

I've been running Logwatch on a Raspberry Pi for some time and learned a lot from it. I decided to install on a Mac (Intel iMac running Sequoia) via MacPorts. The Logwatch configuration file

/opt/local/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf

says to override default variables by putting them in the following file:

/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

However, that directory does not exist. So, I'm lost. Do I need to create that directory or does the override file go somewhere else?

I was in the process of working through how to get the local web-server version of Joplin 3 (based on the mobile version) compiled on macOS 10.13 High Sierra (because the GUI absolutely will not, being dependent on features that didn't exist until later OS versions), and writing up a detailed tutorial on the process. The only way to do this is with Node.js 21, because 22 and later are inoperable on macOS 10.13. Can't use Homebrew for this. MacPorts handily provided Node 21 and the ICU 74 it depends on. Then I needed to reinstall Node 21 for some reason or other (stopped running due to some library being upgraded and the old one removed). THIS VERY WEEK, MacPorts decided to delete Node 21 from its offerings, right out from under me, and forces an upgrade to 22, which won't compile on my OS. So, all this work for nothing. Is there some repo somewhere with older MacPorts packages that they no longer want to provide support for? It seems unlikely to me that the package I need has disappeared off the entire Internet forever. Trying to do something like sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants nodejs21@21.7.3 fails; it just forcibly tries to install @22.whatever anyway.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Please I am installing watchman for so that I can setup my React Native environment on MacBook Pro early 11 with Catalina 10.15.5. All efforts to successfully install watchman has been abortive. Could anyone please help me? I have tried the command “brew install watchman” but it would complain of Folly and C.make during the installation. I have tried to install watchman through MacPort using the following MacPort documentation…

1. unzip watchman-*-linux.zip
2. cd watchman-vYYYY.MM.DD.00-linux
3. sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/{bin,lib} /usr/local/var/run/watchman
4. sudo cp bin/* /usr/local/bin
5. sudo cp lib/* /usr/local/lib
6. sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/watchman
7. sudo chmod 2777 /usr/local/var/run/watchman

The step 4 AND 5 are wrong in the above step as the terminal showed that bin/* and lib/* are wrong and there I am stuck. Is there anyone who can give me a practical proven guide on installing watchman on Mac Catalina 10.15.5 through Homebrew or MacPort? I appreciate your efforts in advance

In *win* I was using anaconda and with conda activate I could easily manage isolated python environments that I can then used in any IDE etc. How can I do the same with MacPorts? I know anaconda is also for macOS bui I read is quite incompatible with MacPorts. What about virtualenv package for MacPorts? what is the standard way to do this?

I am doing more or less a find . -iname "*python*" -type d in my MacOS and I find numerous python installations. I am unable to figure out which is which and what is its purpose so I was wondering whether someone can point me to some documentation. Some examples:

./Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/Resources/Python.app

./System/Volumes/Data/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework

./System/Volumes/Data/Applications/Python 3.11

./System/Volumes/Data/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11
./System/Volumes/Data/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9
./System/Volumes/Data/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.12

(I am assuming the later are brew installations.

./System/Volumes/Data/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.12

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is this a bug?

I installed a package via macports and was wondering what the outcome of a specific test during configure run was. Can I find this information somewhere for packages that port installs from binary pkg?

I've just noticed a strange issue on an older (High Sierra) system I've nearly finished setting up – namely I'm seeing mdworker processes running as the user "macports" rather than the user I would expect "_spotlight". I'm guessing this is some kind of weird user ID mixup or something, however it's taken most of two days to copy a bunch of data onto the system, so I **really** do not want to have to wipe it and start again. As far as I can tell Spotlight is running normally, I'm guessing because the mds and mds_stores processes are running as root as normal (so can still write to my /.Spotlight-V100 folder) but this definitely doesn't seem correct. Does anyone know how I can get mdworker instances running as the correct user again, ideally without interfering with my macports installation? Though if I **have** to uninstall and reinstall macports that's not the end of the world). **Update**: In case it's relevant, I did restore one standard user from a Time Machine backup, but I specifically asked not to restore macports from that.

I'm running macOS 13.6.5, and have installed OpenSSH via MacPorts since I want to be running the latest version of OpenSSH. However, one downside to using a MacPorts installation of OpenSSH is that each ssh session is apparently not running in the right context to be able to interact with the window server, and therefore trying to use osascript to run AppleScripts that interact with running applications will all fail with an error Application isn’t running. (-600). Is there any way to be able to use MacPorts OpenSSH and still use osascript to run AppleScripts that interact with running applications?

I've installed both pip (pip27) and pip3 (pip37) for Python. However, MacPorts has only created one group called "pip" that can either be set to pip27, pip37 or none. I want pip27 to be available as pip and pip37 to be available as pip3. How can I create an additional group, so that I can easily use both pip and pip3 from the Terminal app? None of the port select subcommands seem to provide this option? Currently, MacPorts has the following groups: Nicolass-MacBook-Pro:Projects nlykkei$ port select --summary Name Selected Options ==== ======== ======= pip pip27 pip27 pip37 none python python27 python27 python27-apple python37 none python2 none python27 python27-apple none python3 python37 python37 none virtualenv virtualenv37 virtualenv37 none

I've installed python via Macports and have now Python 3.12. (MacOS 11 comes with Python 3.8) When I run pip3 --version I get this: /Users/ingmar/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/pip (python 3.8) And more importendly, packages installed via pip3 are not found when running the script via python3, which now points to Python 3.12 from Macports. (Don't know how to run Python 3.8 from MacOS) I've also installed py-pip from Macports and ran sudo port select --set pip3 pip312, but the pip3 --version output remains the same. So, how do I make pip3 to point to the version installed via Macports so that packages installed can be found by python3?

I just installed npm10 with MacPorts. At the end of the installation I got this warning: It is not recommended to install packages globally. But if you do so please be aware that they won't get cleaned up when you deactivate or uninstall npm10. Globally installed packages will remain in /opt/local/lib/node_modules/ until you manually delete them. AFAIK, Everything I install using MacPorts is by default installed globally, and it is complicated or not possible to not install globally, isn't it? What is the recommended "solution" to this warning? Couldn't find any documentation at MacPorts.
