Re: [Fink-users] [fink-core] debfoster missing some necessary fink packages?

2006-12-06 Thread David R. Morrison
It is true, however, that cctools-extra, fink-prebinding, and ncurses- 
shlibs used to be Essential: yes (in the 10.4-transitional tree,  
for example) but are now Essential: no.  It's possible that the  
warning was accurate, because the user had old versions of those  
packages installed which were indeed tagged as essential.

2006-12-06 Thread Remi Mommsen
Hi Dave,

I rebuilt the fink-prebinding package yesterday to make sure that I  
have the latest deb corresponding to the info file. But apt still  
complains. I believe the pure presence of the word 'Essential' is  
enough for apt to treat it as essential. Maybe we should remove the  
Essential: no from the info files?

[Fink-users] Problems building netgen on Tiger - togl?

2006-12-06 Thread Bryan Klingner
Hi,

I am having some trouble building netgen-4.4-11 on Tiger (OS X 10.4). It appears
to be a problem with togl.cpp not detecting the major/minor version of Tcl/Tk
correctly and falling through to the error case in it's defines. Here is the
critical part of togl.cpp:

#if defined(X11)
#if TK_MAJOR_VERSION==4  TK_MINOR_VERSION==0
#  include tkInt4.0.h
#  define NO_TK_CURSOR
#elif TK_MAJOR_VERSION==4  TK_MINOR_VERSION==1
#  include tkInt4.1.h 
#elif TK_MAJOR_VERSION==4  TK_MINOR_VERSION==2
#  include tkInt4.2.h
...(bunch of other versions)
#else
   Sorry, you will have to edit togl.c to include the right tkInt.h file
#endif

Here is the beginning of the error I get when building:

snip
g++-3.3 -c -I./libsrc/include -I/opt/OpenCASCADE5.2/ros/inc  -I./ngsolve/include
-Ilibsrc/interface -DOPENGL  -g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include -DDARWIN
-DOPENGL -DNGSOLVE  togl/togl.cpp -o togl/togl.o
togl/togl.cpp:144: warning: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `Sorry' with no type
togl/togl.cpp:144: warning: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `you' with no type
togl/togl.cpp:144: error: parse error before `have'
togl/togl.cpp:198: error: `Tk_Cursor_*Cursor' redeclared as different kind of 
   symbol
/
/snip

So it seems like it's failing to find the TK_BLAH defines for some reason, so
togl won't build. Anyone have ideas on ways to fix this? 

Many thanks!

Bryan

[Fink-users] kdelibs3-unified won't build

2006-12-06 Thread James Dunlop
Hi,
   Tiger OS X 10.4, new intel macbook pro c2d.  Trying to get kde  
installed for development.
But I'm running into the problem that it wants to put a prefix in  
front of -framework
in building kdeprirint.  Now, I did update the cups version to 1.2.7  
from the .dmg at cups.org,
in order to fix an issue with printing over an ssh tunnel, but I  
don't see how that's
related.  Ideas?  Couldn't find anything.

(ick, they overwrite system files?  just downloaded it -- yup, they do)

Looks like the /usr/bin/cups-config in their package breaks libtool.  It
contains:

LIBS=-framework CoreFoundation -framework Security -lz -lpthread
- -framework CoreFoundation 

...which libtool wants to be:
LIBS=-Wl,-framework,CoreFoundation -Wl,-framework,Security -lz
- -lpthread -Wl,-framework,CoreFoundation 

I'll see if I can work around this somehow in the KDE package, but
expect other cups-related stuff to mysteriously fail to compile too.  :P

Re: [Fink-users] [fink-core] debfoster missing some necessary fink packages?

2006-12-06 Thread David R. Morrison
Hi Remi.

Chris Z. and I just looked at this again.  The property Essential  
does not even make it into the .deb.  We're guessing that your  
installation is still picking up the info from some old version of  
the file.  Try running apt-get update to see if that makes it go  
away?  (The old info must be cached somehow...)

 As Martin said, they're all marked as Essential: no, so  
 they're not
 essential for Fink.  debfoster apparently just sees the presence of
 the Essential field as marking a package as essential, rather  
 than
 whether the field is set to yes

 After some testing and reading code, I believe that debfoster is
 handling the Essential field correctly. However, apt does not. The
 prompt

 does come from apt being told by debfoster to remove packages which
 have Essential: no set. 'apt-cache show fink-prebinding' actually
 report Essential: yes, while the info file clearly says  
 Essential:
 no. I haven't found out where apt gets it wrong.

[Fink-users] My wish list for move-to-stable

2006-12-06 Thread David Reiser
atk1 1.12.2
gtk+2 2.6.10
libbonobo2 2.16.0
libglade2 2.6.0
libgnome2-dev 2.14.1
libgnomecanvas2 2.14.0
libgsf1.114 1.14.1
libidl2 0.8.7
orbit2 2.14.3
pango1-xft2 1.10.1
libgoffice 0.2.2

and of course, gnucash2 (but I need to get gtkhtml3.8.15 out of  
crypto and create a trimmed down gnucash package that doesn't do  
direct bank connections...)

Is there anything besides lack of feedback holding these in unstable?

Most of these follow from gnucash2 needing libglade2 = 2.4. I have  
been using nearly all of these (or more-recent-than-stable anyway)  
for up to a year with gnucash 1.9.x and 2.0.x. I haven't had any  
trouble other than a few things that people tell would be fixed if gtk 
+2 got to 2.8+.

Probably ought to wait a bit for libgoffice, since that's only days  
old so far.

Dave
