Hmm.. I've never tried pkg-src before. I'll give it a try.
Step 1: I have to download a gig of stuff before I can install any packages? Even though my drive is big nowadays, that still seems like a bit of a waste...
Step 2: Let's try building a package, the last thing I installed with homebrew.
> cd math/minisat
> make install clean
Makefile:27: *** missing separator. Stop.
> make
Makefile:27: *** missing separator. Stop.
Hmm.. this isn't the most user-friendly system...
UPDATE: I have to use the bmake I bootstrapped, didn't realise (and the quick-start docs didn't mention it). Now building begins, but the executable doesn't link.
- jd3 10y agouse the `pkgin` binary to install binaries built from joyent... (https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Darwin/ https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/Darwin/) No need to clone the package tree. This fixes step 1. `sudo bmake install clean` fixes step two.... (opt needs superuser permissions). see the joyent link in particular to see how easy it is to install pre-compiled binary packages with pkgin
