MacPorts Install Script

[ahalekelly]

MacPorts allows you to install an ARM build of KiCAD on Apple Silicon Macs, by building it from scratch instead of using the kicad.org binary. However, the different install location makes the installation script fail. Here's an updated version, I get the following error but KiKit seems to work?

/Applications/MacPorts/KiCad/kicad.app: the main executable or Info.plist must be a regular file (no symlinks, etc.)

/Applications/MacPorts/KiCad/kicad.app/Contents/MacOS/kicad is a symlink to /opt/local/bin/kicad, Info.plist is a regular file

Thanks! I am thinking about two improvements:

• we could test which location is valid and automatically decide (then there is no need to change documentation),
• or we should mention the existence of the script in the documentation.

I slightly prefer the first one, however, since I don't have mac to test it, I am also willing to accept just noting the script's existence in the documentation.
