#20218: 'make install' has bad instructions
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: apbaccounts@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: base | Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: | Port:
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Installing from source concludes with the message:
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system. To
get the Portfiles and update the system, run:
sudo port -v selfupdate
Because the installation just happened, people are unlikely to already
have /opt/local/bin in their $PATH, and so that command fails with 'sudo:
port: command not found'. Maybe anyone installing from source is smart
enough to know what to do, but why offer the command if it's not going to
work?
