<h1><a name="index2h1"></a>MacPorts</h1>
<p>Another way to install ikiwiki on Mac OS X [Snow] Leopard and Tiger is via MacPorts: <a href="http://www.macports.org/">http://www.macports.org/</a></p>
<p>This project ports Open Source software into Mac OS X platform.
It's very easy to install ikiwiki via MacPorts:</p>
<p>1.- Donwnload and install MacPorts port manager from: <a href="http://www.macports.org/install.php">http://www.macports.org/install.php</a> .
Port manager installs via Mac OS X installer. Prerequisite: XCode.
Se above URL for details</p>
<p>2.- Run </p>
<pre><code>$ sudo port install ikiwiki
</code></pre>
<p>This installs ikiwiki and all of its dependencies</p>
<p>enjoy</p>

<h1><a name="index3h1"></a>Manual install</h1>
<p>These are some notes on installing ikiwiki on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I have a three year old machine with a lot of stuff on it so it took quite a while, YMMV. </p>
<p>The best part of installing ikiwiki was learning how to use git. I never used source control before but its pretty slick.</p>
<h2><a name="index3h2"></a>installing git:</h2>
<p>cd /opt/ikiwiki/install</p>
<p>curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-(latest version).tar.gz -O</p>
<p>tar xzvf git-(latest version).tar.gz</p>
<p>cd git-(latest version)</p>
<p>./configure --prefix=/usr/local </p>
<p>make prefix=/usr/local all</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
<p>git config --global user.name "firstname lastname" </p>
<p>git config --global user.email "email here"</p>
<p>git config --global color.ui "auto" </p>
<p>curl http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.7.3.1.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzC /usr/local/share/man/</p>
<h2><a name="index4h2"></a>installing ikiwiki:</h2>
<p>I had terrible trouble installing ikiwiki. It turned out I had accidentally installed Perl through ports. Uninstalling that made everything install nicely.
I got an error on msgfmt. Turns out this is a program in gettext. I installed that and it fixed the error.</p>
<p>cd ..</p>
<p>git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/</p>
<p>cd git.ikiwiki.info/</p>
<p>perl Makefile.PL LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
<p>when you make ikiwiki it gives you a .git folder with the ikiwiki files. Stay out of this folder. You want to learn how to create a clone and make all your changes in the clone. When you push the changes ikiwiki will update. I moved a file in this folder by accident because I named my working file the same and I couldn't get into the setup page. I had apparently messed up my ikiwiki git repository. I did a pull into my clone, deleted the repository and webserver/ cgi folders and ran a new setup. Then I did a git clone and dragged all my old files into the new clone. Did the git dance and did git push. Then the angels sang.</p>
<h2><a name="index5h2"></a>using git from inside a git folder:</h2>
<p>start with git clone, then learn to do the git dance like this.</p>
<p>git pull</p>
<p>make your changes to your clone</p>
<p>git commit -a -m "message here"</p>
<p>git push</p>
<p>When you can't get into the setup page or you get strange behavior after a setup update the Utilities > Console app is your friend.</p>
<h2><a name="index6h2"></a>installing gitweb</h2>
<p>cd ../git-1.7.3.1/gitweb</p>
<p>make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/opt/ikiwiki/" GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb.css" GITWEB_LOGO="/git-logo.png" GITWEB_FAVICON="/git-favicon.png" GITWEB_JS="/gitweb.js"</p>
<p>cp gitweb.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/</p>

<p>cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.js /Library/WebServer/Documents/</p>

<h2><a name="index7h2"></a>installing xapian:</h2>
<p>download xapian and omega</p>
<p>I needed pcre: sudo ports install pcre</p>
<p>./configure</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
<h2><a name="index8h2"></a>installing omega:</h2>
<p>I had a build error do to libiconv undefined symbols. sudo port deactivate libiconv took care of it. After install I had trouble with ikiwiki so I did a sudo port install libiconv and ikiwiki came back.</p>
<p>./configure</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
<h2><a name="index9h2"></a>installing Search::Xapian from CPAN</h2>
<p>for some reason this wouldn't install using CPAN console so I went to CPAN online and downloaded the source.</p>
<p>perl Makefile.PL</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>make test</p>
<p>sudo make install</p>
<p>it installed without issue so I'm baffled why it didn't install from command line.</p>
<p>## setup file
_!/usr/bin/perl
_ Ikiwiki setup automator.</p>
<pre><code>_ This setup file causes ikiwiki to create a wiki, check it into revision
_ control, generate a setup file for the new wiki, and set everything up.
_ Just run: ikiwiki --setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup
_By default, it asks a few questions, and confines itself to the user's home
_directory. You can edit it to change what it asks questions about, or to
_modify the values to use site-specific settings.
require IkiWiki::Setup::Automator;
our $wikiname="your wiki";
our $wikiname_short="yourwiki";

<h2><a name="index10h2"></a>turning on search plugin:</h2>
<p>I turned on the plugin from the setup page in ikiwiki but it gave an error when I went to search. Error "Error: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega failed: No such file or directory".
I did a "find / -name "omega" -print" and found the omega program in "/usr/local/lib/xapian-omega/bin/omega".</p>
<p>Then I went into the 2wiki.setup file and replaced the bad path, updated and badda-boom badda-bing.</p>
