Hello there. I don't entirely know what Fink is, but I would expect that any build of Rosegarden for OS/X would just be an ordinary OS/X app, presumably packaged in a .dmg for installation into the apps folder like any other. Rosegarden uses Qt4 for its GUI, which uses Cocoa directly and is quite easy to package (depending on how many different OS/X versions one tries to support). With the exception of the audio and MIDI support and associated libraries, RG is reasonably straightforward to port to the Mac -- the problem really is the amount of development work necessary to get any sound support. As this stage the configure doesn't include any direct support for doing a sound-less build -- you'd need to hack configure.ac so as to skip the ALSA/JACK tests and build without HAVE_ALSA and HAVE_LIBJACK. (As for the other failing configure tests: the only direct reference to X11 libraries in the code is to install an error handler, which of course would be unnecessary when building without X11 as on Cocoa. dssi.h is an audio plugin format spec header, easily bundled but there's no point in worrying about it when we have no audio! And sha1sum is used to generate a build ID for support purposes.)
