Macports: bash_completion not working with make (with gmake or without)

bashmacports

I've installed bash_completion from macports. Completion works fine for git, for instance, where I installed +bash_completion variant.

Completion doesn't work for make, whether I install macports' gmake or not. gmake doesn't even have +bash_completion variant.

How do I make it work?

Apparently I didn't follow bash installation instructions. On a fresh system, after adding bash to /etc/shells and chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash, it worked.

This problem sounds like you did not set up dbus yet. Read the output of the command port notes dbus and follow the instructions.

$ port notes dbus
dbus has the following notes:
  ############################################################################
  # Startup items have been generated that will aid in
  # starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled
  # by default. Execute the following command to start them,
  # and to cause them to launch at startup:
  #
  # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
  # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

Mac – Apache module run under MacPorts gives SQLite error

All I had to do was add this line to the makefile:

Darwin_LIBS += -lsqlite3

and the resulting module now works with MacPorts' Apache.
