The gant Portfile 59324 2009-10-13 15:50:44Z breskeby macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: gant
Version: 1.8.1
Category: java devel groovy
Maintainers: breskeby
Description: A groovy based tool for scripting ant
Long Description: Gant is a tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of XML to specify the logic. A Gant specification is a Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear directly, something not possible with Ant scripts. Whilst it might be seen as a competitor to Ant, Gant uses Ant tasks for many of the actions, so Gant is really an alternative way of doing things using Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the rules.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/gant
%  sudo port install gant  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching gant
--->  Verifying checksum for gant
--->  Extracting gant
--->  Configuring gant
--->  Building gant with target all

--->  Staging gant into destroot

--->  Installing gant

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using gant with these commands:

%  man gant
%  apropos gant
%  which gant
%  locate gant
