macOS Mojave and Home Brew

Since I switched Apple as my main computer, I was running Mac Ports https://www.macports.org/ However with the release of macOS Mojave, there was no support and the mac ports stopped working. I had to scramble because there is a lot of apps I use from the Linux days that are not natively available on macOS (e.g. sipcalc (best subnet calculator.. ever), telnet (to test ports), and wget (pulling down websites)). Was i surprised when Mac Ports did not have a build yet for Mojave. I had always known of Home Brew but since I had already installed Mac Ports, I never really messed with it. As of this writting, Mac Ports does not have support for Mojave but Home Brew does….. so I switched.

Home Brew has a super easy deployment method. You need to type the command below, and it does the rest.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install"

Once you hit enter, you will see the following screen

All done. Now to install applications you need to issue the following command

brew install %application-name%
(e.g. brew install wget or brew install sipcalc)

mannyfernandez:~$brew install wget

==> Caveats
gettext is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides the BSD gettext library & some software gets confused if both are in the library path.


If you need to have gettext first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile


For compilers to find gettext you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include"

openssl is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.
