Rudix, the red  “Unix ports and packages for Mac OS X delivered in the Right Way”

Rudix features a world class collection of pre-compiled and ready to use Unix compatible software which are not available from a fresh installation of Mac OS X but are popular among other Unix environments. Here you can find utilities, programming languages, libraries and tools delivered as standard Mac OS X packages.

Rudix port system is our way to build the packages (also know as a “build system”) and it's developed and maintained by Rudá Moura and it is licensed under BSD. Each software/package distributed is covered under an appropriate license and ownership.

Rudix 2008r3 is coming soon!

Install it!

Rudix-2008r2.dmg

Download Rudix 2008r2 171.6 MB (Disk Image). Full installation requires 530 MB free disk space. Released in September 14, 2008.

Default base directory is /usr/local, unless you customize the system PATH or per user PATH variable to use binaries in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin you should provide the full path to the binary you want to use (like /usr/local/bin/wget).

The packages were compiled and it's well tested on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4). Although some birds told us it runs on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and possibly on Panther too (Mac OS X 10.3) your mileage may vary. Feedbacks are very welcome!

Packages

Rudix is graciously available as standalone packages (there is dependence in packages). These packages were compiled as Universal Binary which make it possible to run on Intel and PowerPC Macintoshes.
