Macports on Leopard

As a student, to buy softwares is not what I can afford, and I don’t like to search and use the crack version of the commercial software. Open source software project in UNIX world is really good for me. I believe that Mac OS is UNIX based operating system, so I want to make my macbook with leopard os well compatible with open source projects.
Just as any Unix system, an easy to use system for compiling ,installing, and upgrading open-source software in your operating system is really necessary to open source fans. There are in fact two different projects doing this for Mac OS X. One is called MacPorts (upgraded from the old Darwinports), and the other is Fink.
There are some discussions about “Darwinports vs Fink”- which is better? I didn’t do much research , but I think Macports community is more active then Fink. So Macprot becomes my choice.
There is no trick during installing Macports on Leopard, as there is a simple .dmg file on the official website of the Macports. And the guide on the website should be enough for your to get start.

ccd2iso

ccd2iso------CloneCD image to ISO image file converter!


mac os x 下burn .iso镜像文件倒是方便,不今天碰到CloneCD的镜像,包含.ccd/.img/,sub三个文件,郁闷了,一般需要CloneCD是在windows下的,还有个Toast,看了感觉也比较麻烦,看到这个开源软件ccd2iso简直是眼前一亮啊,赶紧下载,然后按照install说明文件指示:1. ./configrue 2.make 3.make install. 4.make clean. (在root下make install)安装完毕,然后命令:ccd2iso image.img myimage.iso 就ok了,不需要另外两个文件。
