+ <h3>Mac port</h3>
+
+ <p>It seems that Recoll will sometimes find data that Spotlight
+ misses (especially inside pdfs apparently, which is probably
+ more to the credit of poppler than recoll itself).</p>
+ <p>There is a MacPorts Portfile available for Recoll 1.15.9. It
+ is not in the official MacPorts tree though, but you can use it
+ outside the tree anyway.</p>
+ <p>The following is based on
+ the <a href="http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories">
+ the MacPort documentation</a>. Procedure:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Install <a href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>
+ if it's not there yet.</li>
+ <li>Download
+ the <a href="files/macport-recoll-1.15.9.tar.gz">recoll
+ Portfile tree (tar file)</a>.</li>
+ <li>Decide where you want the local port tree to leave (it's
+ tiny), ie: /Users/myself/macports.</li>
+ <li>Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf, and insert a URL
+ pointing to your local repository before the rsync one:
+<pre>
+ file:///Users/myself/macports
+ rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports [default]
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>Extract the port tar file inside your local tree:
+<pre>
+ cd /Users/myself/macports
+ tar xvzf /path/to/the/downloaded/macport-recoll-1.15.9.tar.gz
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>Use the MacPorts portindex
+ command in the local repository's directory to create or
+ update the index of the ports in your local repository:
+<pre>
+ cd ~/Users/myself/macports
+ portindex
+</pre>
+ Once the local port is added to the PortIndex, it becomes
+ available for searching or installation as with any other
+ Portfile in the MacPorts
+ tree.
+ </li>
+ <li>Install :) :
+<pre>
+ sudo port install recoll
+</pre>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Recoll is then available from the command line. There is
+ probably a way to run it in a clicky way, but some more
+ advanced mac user will have to point me to it...</p>
