You can manually set the target architecture with -target-arch=x86 or amd64, if some architecture related problems occur.

Change to the root directory of the sources and execute the configure script:.

If you are running 10.10 (Yosemite) there is a boot-args option for allowing the loading of unsigned kexts.

Loading self-built kernel extensions (kexts) on more recent OS X may require changes to the system config unless you have a kext signing certificate and is running 10.14 (High Sierra) or earlier.įor 10.11 (El Capitan) and later boot to the recovery partition and either enabling loading of unsigned kexts:įor 10.15 (Catalina) and later you also need to disable the reboot requirement (also from recovery partition):.Sudo port install libidl acpica yasm subversion doxygen texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra x86_64-elf-gccĭoxygen, texlive* and x86_64-elf-gcc are optional (first two for documentation, latter for the validation kit).

Until recently the official builds were done using Xcode 6.2 (you may use the tools/darwin.amd64/bin/ script to 'install' the necessary bits on later OS X versions).Īfter installing MacPorts, do not forget to make sure the following two lines are in your ~/.profile or ~/.zprofile file and actually loaded in the shell you're using:Įxport PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATHĮxport MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH Xcode matching your Mac OS X version ( ).

10.10.x (Yosemite) or later running on Intel hardware (PowerPC hardware is not supported nor is building an X11 variant).
