Ciao. A couple of things:

1) if you've run fink install glade then you've installed version 0.6,  
which is quite old. There's a glade3 package that's version 3.6.  
(glade 0.6 is GTK, glade 3.6 is GTK2). Run

fink list glade

to check which glade packages are available on your system. You might  
want to enable the unstable tree to get more recent versions; please  
read

http://finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable

If you installed Fink using the binary installer on 10.5, you should  
read this too:

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/upgrade-fink.php#leopard-bindist1

Choosing rsync or cvs is important to get recent packages.


2) most programs installed by Fink are located under /sw/bin. The  
easiest way to run a Fink-installed application is to open the  
Terminal and write the application name. For the glade package, the  
program name is glade. For the glade3 package, the program name is  
glade-3.


Cheers,

[Fink-beginners] fink install netpbm

2009-06-14 Thread iaparkin

Thank you for the continuing courteous service you provide in, no  
doubt, often trying circumstances. It's impressive, and certainly most  
helpful!

On a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.7 I've fink-installed netpbm; but  
whereas fink-installing many a package (e.g. pth, gmp, jpeg, etc.)  
results in both a .a and a .la library file in /sw/lib,  
fink-installing netpbm yields a raft of .dylib's such as  
libnetpbm.10.dylib, libpbm.9.dylib, etc. but no libnetpbm.a (or .la)  
and no libpbm.a (or .la).

In consequence, my ld phase fails, unable to find the netpbm library.

Is there a workaround for this ?

Supplementary non-fink question: where do I find a description of the  
various roles and distinctions between .dylib, .a, and .la files ?

With thanks,

Ian Parkin.

Start X11

Open an X11 terminal window

In that window run

. /sw/bin/init.sh
glade

You should change the first line above if you're another shell besides bash.

You can see what all the glade package installed by using

dpkg -L glade

It looks like netpbm(10) is set up not to create those.  You might try
checking with the package maintainer (fink info netpbm10), as he is
the one to handle such issues.

My take on this:

.la files aren't libraries.  They're libtool archive files which are
used by libtool when linking packages up.
.a files are static libraries; so executables or other libraries that
need them essentially have to incorporate them into themselves.
.dylib files are dynamic libraries.  Executables or other libraries that
need them link to them at run time.

[Fink-beginners] does the Mac developers news feed not exist any more?

2009-06-14 Thread Heinz Nabielek
Not directly fink related, but perhaps somebody can help.

feed://developer.apple.com/rss/topic/macosx.rss

Safari could not update this feed because the source file is no longer  
available.

Is there a new address or does the developers news feed not exist any  
more?

[Fink-beginners] make problems

2009-06-14 Thread Nic Duquette
This is the first time I've used fink. I switched to the CVS mode and
installed the pioneers package (a Catan clone), and now I'm trying to
compile it. But when I tell it to make I get the error

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

There are two items called Makefile.xxx and one called omf.make, but if I
try to feed it these files it returns

Nothing to be done for `Makefile.am'.

or whatever the file is.

I obviously don't know much about what I'm doing. What's the secret trick? I
can't find anything about this error in the documentation or FAQ. make
--help works, so I know the command is installed.
