error "Could not find Portfile"

Exactly what does this error mean?

A friend told me he thought it might mean that I had moved my 
darwinports directory.  In fact I *had* moved my darwinports directory 
after getting it using cvs, but prior to doing the darwinports 
configure/make/install.  But just to be sure I deleted the darwinports 
directory, and did the following commands from scratch, this time 
assuring that I did not have to move darwinports after getting it via 
cvs:

> cd ~/scala
> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous <at> anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od 
> login
> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous <at> anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od 
> co -P darwinports
> cd darwinports
> cd base
> ./configure
> make
> sudo make install
> sudo port gtk2

Everything appeared to work fine until the final command which gave 
this error:

> Unable to open port: Could not find Portfile in ./

This was all done under 10.3.3 on a dual 2GHz G5.

Thanks for any help.

What do you want to do to the gtk2 port?  To install it, run:

sudo port install gtk2

You can find out more in the port(1) manpage.  Basically, you have to 
give port(1) a target to perform on a port as the second argument.

As an aside, the reason this is happening is that if a portname isn't 
specified, port(1) looks for a Portfile in the current directory, so 
you could also:

cd darwinports/dports/x11/gtk2
sudo port install

So, by simply running 'port gtk2', you're asking port(1) to run the 
nonexistent 'gtk2' target on a Portfile in your current directory, 
which it complains it cannot find.

That did it, of course.  Thanks.  I was referring to some incorrect 
"how to" information.

Sorry to confuse.  Not *your* how to information.  Just some info via 
private email regarding making gtk2.  The bad info probably exists now 
only in my personal email archives.

yes, i'll fix it this afternoon, it installs the manpage in the wrong

new port: hexedit

Hi.

Before I'll submit my first port, I'd like someone to test it.
Please report your experiences.
btw: The category korseby will be changed to utils.  It's for testing on my system only.

Where should I announce the new port and upload the corresponding files ?

The binary needs ncurses for building. Since the ncurses library comes with Apple I've decided to let
depends_lib empty. Is this correct or should I file a pseudo-dependency if that is possible ?

Thanks.

*Kristian

Works for me. The patch command just reports trailing CRs in the patch 
file.

The naming convention for patch-files in DP is "patch-{file}". You 
might want to change that for cosmetic reasons ;)

Good question. Anyone?
