How to compile other software using Macports libraries

TODO: How to compile other software using Macports libraries Audience: Beginner

Introduction

This document will attempt to illustrate how to use Macports to fulfill library dependencies of other software that has not been incorporated into Macports. Two examples will be covered here, representing two of the most common way that software is compiled. The first example will demonstrate how to compile a single C source file using gcc directly, linking and including the Macports libraries via the -L and -I gcc command line options. The second example will demonstrate how to link against Macports libraries when compiling software that uses the GNU autoconf system, in which case you do not run gcc directly, but instead pass arguments to the 'configure' script.
