OpenVAS OSX Sierra Mac Ports install fails

Here is my failed attempt at getting ports to install openvas on OSX.
port Version 2.4.2
xcodebuild version 9.2 Build version 9C40b

sudo port install openvas*

fails, missing lbzip2
sudo port install lbzip2

sort port install openvas* fails due to missing ac_nonexistent.h

google says that .h file comes from coccinelle

sudo port install coccinelle fails with "info:build is not a compiled interface for this version of OCaml

port list |grep -i ocaml finds a ton of different ocaml ports, which is it?

since we don't know, sudo port install ocaml*
that fails at ocaml-kernel, cannot find external tool ocamlbuild

sudo port install ocaml-ocamlbuild
then sudo port install ocaml* failed again on ocaml-core-kernel

giving up on ocaml, it looksl ike the coccinelle was built with an older version of ocaml, how to lock that older version into the port install?

Zoneminder USB Cam

Well it turns out you don't need your own scripts, zoneminder can natively use a USB camera at 15FPS!

Taken from:
https://major.io/2015/02/07/using-zoneminder-logitech-c270-webcam/

These settings worked for me with a normal usb camera on i386 Ubuntu 17.04:

  • Device Path: /dev/video0
  • Capture Method: Video For Linux version2
  • Device Format: PAL
  • Capture Palette: YUYV
  • Capture Width: 800
  • Capture Height: 600
I do see if I browse to zoneminder though, apache2 stays at 100% afterwards.
