The following procedure will install the SP and all its dependencies. Completion of the instructions will result in a functional and loaded but unconfigured SP installed under the /opt/local file system tree maintained by the MacPorts system.

At this time, only Apache installations in detectable locations that the configure script can locate automatically are usable. In practice this means that the "right" Apache apxs script needs to be in the system path when the port is configured. Either upon release or shortly after, a port variant will be added to specify use of the MacPort-provided Apache packageApple has deprecated the Apache server included with macOS and no longer provides the necessary apxs script to allow the SP to build against it. Therefore, the port will now shift to depending on, and building against, the Apache 2.4 port available from macports. If your current SP installation is based on the Apple-provided Apache, you will need to migrate to the macport Apache as part of upgrading the SP. |
Installing MacPorts
You can find disk images with an installer at http://www.macports.org/ or you can download and build the port software manually from their tarball. After installing it, particularly if you do so from source, you may need to add /opt/local/bin to your shell path.
