The only dependency I’m aware of is mono. The Github source currently builds for me without any tinkering.

Version: 2.3.4

Since you've already successfully built the software, can you provide a working Portfile?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I'm working on it. I will have a couple of questions here in a day or two.

Pash builds successfully via xbuild, but it doesn’t have a “make install” equivalent, it leaves the executable in the project hierarchy at Source/PashConsole/bin/Debug/Pash.exe.

Furthermore, it’s not a “normal” executable, it’s a “PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows,” meaning it has to be launched via Mono, e.g. mono path/to/Pash.exe.

AFAICT none of the other ports in the mono category use xbuild, so I don’t have a model to follow here. I guess the right thing to do would be a post-install script creating a one-line launcher shell script, which is what would be installed in ${prefix}/bin. But I don’t know where to put the project directory, which is full of DLLs and stuff that the executable presumably depends on, and as such should be kept in its entirety. ${workpath} and ${portpath} are subject to being cleaned, right? What is the proper location for persistent files?

Attached what I’ve got of the Portfile so far. The checksums are for the tarball I rolled from the source, do I attach that here or…?

Sorry if these are dopey questions, this is my first real attempt at packaging a port.

As of early 2019, Pash-Project/Pash has been archived.

See https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash/issues/429 for more details, but essentially it's because Microsoft's implementation was open sourced: PowerShell/PowerShell.
