= Building Recoll with macports
== Install macports
https://www.macports.org/install.php
== Have a look at the doc about external/local packages
http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories
== Build Recoll
- Create a directory for the local ports repository and the recoll
data. This could be anywhere but you do need the macports/textproc/recoll
directories in the path. E.g.:
mkdir -p ~/macports/textproc/recoll
- Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf, and insert an URL pointing to
your local repository *before* the rsync one The file should look like
the following (replace <me> with your user name):
file:///Users/<me>/macports/
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports [default]
- Copy the Portfile file and the files/ subdirectory from the recoll source
(in packaging/macports) to macports/textproc/recoll. e.g.:
/Users/<me>/macports/textproc/recoll/Portfile
/Users/<me>/macports/textproc/recoll/files/...
- Run the MacPorts portindex command in the local repository's directory to
create or update the local port index:
cd /Users/<me>/macports
portindex
Once the local port is added to the PortIndex, it becomes available for
searching or installation as with any other Portfile in the MacPorts tree,
for example run the following to build and install recoll:
sudo port build recoll
sudo port install recoll
