Comment (by kencu):

 I think perhaps you might take a moment and review how MacPorts works.

 To find out what MacPorts offers, you can `port search XXXX` for some port
 that MacPorts offers, e.g. `mlpack`.

 To install a port, you `sudo port -v install XXXX` -- whatever it is.

 Then buzzers buzz, whizzers whizz, and the next thing you know, 99% of the
 time, your software is all installed. You don't have to do any of that
 `cmake ../` business  using MacPorts as a consumer.
