Installing OpenVPN from macports in OS X 10.7 Lion
15th Aug 2011, 11:55:55
When I upgraded to 10.7, it broke the openvpn2 macport. Turns out it's pretty easy to fix?
First of all, I re-installed macports from the .dmg to make sure everything was still in place. Next, it's just a case of applying one patch to the port:
Obtain the patch file:
$ cd ~/Downloads $ curl -O https://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/30253/openvpn2-lion.patch
Go to the port directory and apply the patch:
$ cd $(port dir openvpn2) $ sudo -s # patch < ~/Downloads/openvpn2-lion.patch
The patch applies but it puts one of the files in the wrong place. If I knew how to use patch properly I expect this could be avoided quite easily, but the following workaround is perfectly acceptable:
# mkdir files # mv patch-syshead.h.diff files/
Now just install the openvpn2 port as usual:
# port install openvpn2
