      # The following patch selection makes the source build for a single
      # architecture, rather than as universal binaries as the distributed source is
      # configured to do. This probably plays havoc with the MacPorts +universal
      # variant, so I'll need to think further about this.

      # The old behaviour of automatically installing the contributed extras in the
      # source distribution has been disabled for now, as it is not apparent that
      # every Growl user will want these. They should probably go into other ports,
      # in any case.

      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/growl
      % sudo port install growl

      ---> Verifying checksum for growl
      ---> Extracting growl
      ---> Configuring growl
      ---> Building growl with target all
      ---> Staging growl into destroot
      ---> Installing growl
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using growl with these commands:
