Thanks Daniel & Alexander,
I tried the new version of fink-package-precedence but that didn't fix the problem. In the end I, used the tip from Jack Howarth to get past the otool errors: cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin; sudo ln -sf otool-classic otool Since I added this workaround, I've successfully built a large number of packages under 10.12. Occasionally I'll get an error of an unresolved dependence of package X by package Y. When that occurs, I modify the .info file for package X to add 10.12 to the explicit list of Distributions. For example, this came up with 'help2man-perl' and the change was: 8c8,9 < (%type_pkg[systemperl] = 5182) 10.11 --- > (%type_pkg[systemperl] = 5182) 10.11, > (%type_pkg[systemperl] = 5182) 10.12 So to recap where I stand now, with residual problems only in a few specific packages: 1) say 'NO' to binary packages for now 2) patch the bootstrap modules to get Fink to build under 10.12 3) apply the otool workaround above 4) modify .info files as needed to add 10.12 as a valid distribution I'll keep pushing forward to determine which packages aren't building properly, but many have succeeded now (including gcc5) and it's going quite smoothly.

I uploaded a new version of fink-package-precedence (0.19-1) that uses "otool-classic" if present (falling back to "otool" if not), which should resolve the problem. Please let me know--I don't have xcode8, so I'm just implementing what Alexander, and several others on IRC and other places, have reported. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
