Fail to execute a custom local portfile

[Giovanni Grieco]

Hello, 

I’m trying to write a local portfile that compiles and sets up a project hosted on github.

 

To test my portfile, I’ve initialised a local repository in /Users/account _name/Documents/macports, followed the standard hierarchy and indexed my package via portindex command. All of these things went OK.

 

But I can’t install my package via ‘port install’ because MacPorts throws me the following error:

“Unable to execute port: Could not open file: /Users/…/Documents/macports/… /Portfile”

 

I have the file in that directory, I can open and write it. So I don’t know what the problem is.

Permissions are all set to macports:macports 755, both directories and files; port lint doesn’t find any error  related to Portfile; I have sources.conf with my local repository.

 

 

I tried to debug the install command. Here’s the output:

Thanks for your helpful advice!
