I am familliar with RedHat but just learning OS X... What are the "official" locations for the GNU-Darwin packages for pkg_add? /usr/pkg? /usr/packages? The source for make install? /usr/src? /usr/install? Also: Can I use pkg_add for md5.tgz? Or do I have to un-tar it and make install? How do I get/install the source? I want to port ifenslave.c to bond two nics but need to compile it. OS X rocks! I'm hooked!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
All of the pkg* applications would typically go in /usr/sbin. Md5 is required for ports system operation. As for install source, you could get it from FreeBSD, but try this instead.
ln -s /usr/bin/install /usr/local/bin
Also, be sure to read the porting tips for other insightful examples of this kind of trick.
Now, what is ifenslave.c? That sounds like something I should know about!

interface by bonding several physical interfaces.

This provides fail-save and load-balancing.
