Notes to self:

  • Porticus: To get your port/porticus installation  back running use “Ports -> refresh port list” to get rid of old entries.
  • Porticus: If compiling modules fail, you likely forgot to install the Apple developer tools, get yourself X-Code from the mac installer discs – or if you are iPhone developer, use the iPhone SDK which is based on the same tools.
  • PEAR: When installing make sure the base directory (first entry of list) is set to /usr/local. To make the pear command accessible  add /usr/local/bin to your {HOME_DIRECTORY}/.profile file and open a new shell. The ‘pear’ command should be working now.
  • PHP Code Sniffer: Install with ‘sudo pear install PHP_CodeSniffer’.
  • PHP Unit: Prepare the installation with ‘sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de’ and rin it with  ’sudo pear install  pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit’
