ZF2 with macports' ZendFramework2 port

Quick Handreichung how to set up the skeleton application Zend Framework 2 (ZF2) on OS X, using macports' distribution of ZF2. Otherwise you'd have to download/install ZF2 every time for every project - redundancy and version confusion ahoi.
The ZF2 skeleton application is a good starting point for your own ZF2 development.

Quick facts:

• OS X 10.8
• ZF2 2.0.6
• PHP 5.3 (from macports - hint: will be installed anyway with macports' version of ZF2)
• Apache 2.2.23 (from macports)

$> cd /opt/local/ww

Note the vendor/ZF2 directory above - comes in empty.

$> sudo port install ZendFramework2

--->  Cleaning ZendFramework2
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--->  No broken files found.

Now comes the the important part: linking macports' ZF2/library to the actual ZF2-directory of the git repository.

$> cd /opt/local/www/zf2.git/vendor/ZF2
$> sudo ln -s /opt/local/www/ZendFramework/library
$> ls -al

drwxr-xr-x  3 root  admin  102 23 Jan 16:04 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  admin  170 23 Jan 16:02 ..
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin   36 23 Jan 16:04 library -> /opt/local/www/ZendFramework/library

Configure /opt/local/www/zf2.git/public to be the DocumentRoot of your local webserver and you should see ZF2's starting screen.

Ta-Ta!!!
