The best part of installing ikiwiki was learning how to use git. I never used source control before but its pretty slick.
+
## installing git:
+cd /opt/ikiwiki/install
+
curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-(latest version).tar.gz -O
+
tar xzvf git-(latest version).tar.gz
+
cd git-(latest version)
-./configure --prefix=/usr/local
-NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local all
+
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+
+make prefix=/usr/local all
+
sudo make install
+
git config --global user.name "firstname lastname"
+
git config --global user.email "email here"
+
git config --global color.ui "auto"
-curl http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.7.3.1.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzC /opt/local/share/man/

## installing ikiwiki:
I had terrible trouble installing ikiwiki. It turned out I had accidentally installed Perl through ports. Uninstalling that made everything install nicely.
-I like to install test software in /opt. No particular reason. You could install to defaults.
+I got an error on msgfmt. Turns out this is a program in gettext. I installed that and it fixed the error.
+
+cd ..
+
+git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/
+
+cd git.ikiwiki.info/
-perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/Library/Perl/5.10.0 LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0
perl Makefile.PL LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0
+
make
-make install
-sudo install -d /opt/ikiwiki
-sudo install -m 0644 wikilist /opt/ikiwiki
-sudo install -m 0644 auto.setup /opt/ikiwiki
-sudo install -m 0644 auto-blog.setup /opt/ikiwiki
+
+sudo make install
when you make ikiwiki it gives you a .git folder with the ikiwiki files. Stay out of this folder. You want to learn how to create a clone and make all your changes in the clone. When you push the changes ikiwiki will update. I moved a file in this folder by accident because I named my working file the same and I couldn't get into the setup page. I had apparently messed up my ikiwiki git repository. I did a pull into my clone, deleted the repository and webserver/ cgi folders and ran a new setup. Then I did a git clone and dragged all my old files into the new clone. Did the git dance and did git push. Then the angels sang.
+
## using git from inside a git folder:
+
start with git clone, then learn to do the git dance like this.
+
git pull
+
make your changes to your clone
+
git commit -a -m "message here"
+
git push
+
When you can't get into the setup page or you get strange behavior after a setup update the Utilities > Console app is your friend.
## installing gitweb
-make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/opt/ikiwiki/" GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb/gitweb.css" GITWEB_LOGO="/gitweb/git-logo.png" GITWEB_FAVICON="/gitweb/git-favicon.png" bindir=/opt/local/bin
+cd ../git-1.7.3.1/gitweb
+
+make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/opt/ikiwiki/" GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb.css" GITWEB_LOGO="/git-logo.png" GITWEB_FAVICON="/git-favicon.png"
+
+cp gitweb.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
+
+cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/git-favicon.png /Library/WebServer/Documents/
+
+cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/git-logo.png /Library/WebServer/Documents/
+

+
+cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.js /Library/WebServer/Documents/

+

-cp gitweb.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/gitweb/
-sudo chmod 2755 gitweb.cgi
## installing xapian:
+
download xapian and omega
+
I needed pcre: sudo ports install pcre
./configure
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
## installing omega:
+
I had a build error do to libiconv undefined symbols. sudo port deactivate libiconv took care of it. After install I had trouble with ikiwiki so I did a sudo port install libiconv and ikiwiki came back.
+
./configure
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
## installing Search::Xapian from CPAN
+
for some reason this wouldn't install using CPAN console so I went to CPAN online and downloaded the source.
+
perl Makefile.PL
+
make
+
make test
+
sudo make install
+
it installed without issue so I'm baffled why it didn't install from command line.
+
+ ## setup file
+ _!/usr/bin/perl
+ _ Ikiwiki setup automator.
+
+ _ This setup file causes ikiwiki to create a wiki, check it into revision
+ _ control, generate a setup file for the new wiki, and set everything up.
+
+ _ Just run: ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup
+
+ _By default, it asks a few questions, and confines itself to the user's home
+ _directory. You can edit it to change what it asks questions about, or to
+ _modify the values to use site-specific settings.
+ require IkiWiki::Setup::Automator;
+
+ our $wikiname="your wiki";
+ our $wikiname_short="yourwiki";

## turning on search plugin:
-I turned on the plugin from the setup page in ikiwiki but it gave an error when I went to search. Error "blah blah cgi-bin/omega/omega" does not exist or some such. I did a
-find / -name "omega" -print
-and found the omega program in
-/usr/local/lib/xapian-omega/bin/omega.
-Then I went into the setup file and replaced the bad path, updated and badda-boom badda-bing.
-Then I fell asleep.
