Thanks Julien for the links to undocumented functions... Gilles Caulier The problem with the mdmg method is that it includes all the reccursive dependencies of DigiKam including many dependencies which are only used to build Digikam or its dependencies... Julien What the size of DMG archive in this case ? Gilles Caulier The dmg is about 900Mo... In fact, after reading the code it seems that the port mdmg command does not include the build dependencies, only the runtime dependencies. But the list of dependencies of digikam using macports is very large, in fact it is a larger set than digikam dependencies, here is the list:

So we need to simplify this.
One solution could be to change by hand some port files to remove dependencies which are not needed for digiKam.
Another solution could be to try working in the opposite direction, from digiKam.
otool -L digikam gives a list dynlib. But I guess this is not enough to actually run digiKam.
What about trying to link statically all libraries ? but we need some bin files such as kio, ...
Julien
I'm running digiKam on both Linux and Mac OS, and installed digiKam 1.7.0 on Mac just a few days ago.
The idea of modifying some Portfiles so that they have less dependencies sounds good and logical to me! In fact that's what I did, because a dependency ("atlas" and maybe also "akonadi" or "boost") did not compile. This is my "diff" for the kdelibs4 Portfile (just two lines changed, but much of avahi's large dependency tree removed):
36c36
< port:avahi port:qca \
---
> port:qca \
59c59
< -DWITH_Avahi=ON \
---
> -DWITH_Avahi=OFF \
A problem with Macports is that it tries to be a consistent packaging system, like the one provided by Debian. So of course a Port has to depend on everything that it would automatically use, when detecting it in the "configure" phase. I once wanted to remove an "optional" kipi-plugins dependency (gtk1) from the kipi-plugins Portfile, but Ryan Schmidt, one of Macports project managers, clearly stated that this was not in line with the Macports policy:
"It's not ok for ports to opportunistically use software that happens to be installed."
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25076
When creating a binary version of digiKam that installs in a directory like "/opt/digikam" (instead of "/opt/local") this concern would not matter, though, so ideally one would only have each Port depend only on what is really required to build (or to provide the desired functionality). This should greatly increase compile time, but it would also be a lot of work to maintain such a set of modified Portfiles.
I'm not going to put much effort into this, as my old PPC system is too slow for compilation tests. Anyway Macports' support for Mac OS 10.5 will probably end soon after 10.7 is out this year, and I'm not going to buy an Intel Mac (or any Intel computer - but no political discussion here).
Julien, I found that Darktable use macport to release a DMG image for MACOSX. Darktable use also Cmake. There is a release script in this folder : http://darktable.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=darktable/darktable;a=tree;f=packaging/macosx;hb=HEAD The most important script is make-app-bundle, written in BASH. Look like it can be adapted to digiKam. Only the list of shared libs used by digiKam must be updated in this script. Note that darktable work like me : i never use macports to install digiKam package as well, but i install all depencies through macports, and i checkout code from KDE repository, and compile/install against macport dir... Gilles Caulier Guys, any progress on that one? I guess it's the most - indeed the most beneficial area. There are many photographers which could benefit from it. They're not DEVs nor QEs by nature, but they could be - or they can spread the word & bring these people eventually to the project. As was already mentioned above - DarkTable are delivering DMG archive. I'm not DEV, but I can help with testing (on Mavericks & Yosemite). I just don't want to mess up my system with cumbersome mac ports. I tried in past and I won't repeat it ever again. Git commit ed59ff1231f03af46727560d0b876b77b58f21a5 by Gilles Caulier.
