Trac

I spent a few hours today trying to get Trac working on OS X using DarwinPorts.

Read on for a summary of the steps required to get the thing running. Warning, this is not for the faint of heart.

  1. Install DarwinPorts
  2. Install SWIG
    • Modify the Portfile using this patch
    • sudo port install swig
    • Install Subversion
    • sudo port install subversion +python +mod_dav_svn
    • Install Py-SQLite
    • sudo port install py-sqlite
    • Install Clearsilver
    • Download clearsilver/Portfile into an empty directory named clearsilver
    • cd path/to/clearsilver ; sudo port install
    • Install Trac
    • Download trac/Portfile into an empty directory named trac
    • cd path/to/trac ; sudo port install
  1. Setup apache as described in Trac’s documentation

Cross your fingers and hope for the best.

    Have you considered contributing a Trac portfile to DarwinPorts? It’s certainly needed, and you seem to have already done most of the work.
