MacPorts on Tiger

[Sriranga Raghavan Veeraraghavan]

Hi Michele,

About a year ago I was able to get MacPorts installed and build a number of ports on Tiger.  It took quite a long time to get it running because I think MacPorts first had to build a useable tool chain.  Once the new tool chain was built, most of the ports I tried seemed to build and run fine.

Best,
