[Fink-devel] Problem with mirror:sourceforge

2002-05-28 Thread Jeremy Higgs
Hi everyone! I was trying to add some Source-MD5 fields to some of my packages, and added the mirror:sourceforge line to some of them too, while I was at it. However, when I tried to fetch one of the tarballs, I got this: wget --verbose 2002-05-05/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.0.tar.gz --22:20:43--

Thanks. I'll add emacs21 to the list in the porting docs of packages which are known to not yet compile under Jaguar. However, note that ncurses is an essential package in Fink, so you should have gotten curses support even though the library moved in OS X. I'm puzzled that you did not. --

I assume that the curses support came from libSystem.B.dylib, which is always included in a link, and was not required explicitly in the configure/Makefile. On Tuesday, May 28, 2002, at 12:00 PM, David R. Morrison wrote: Thanks. I'll add emacs21 to the list in the porting docs of packages which

[Fink-devel] non standard directories (dx-4.2.0 package)

I've just uploaded a package description for dx-4.2.0 (a scientific visualization tool). Unfortunately, it likes to install in %p/dx (rather that %p/bin %p/lib %p/etc etc.) It has been brought to my attention that this might cause problems. However, some of the %/p/dx subdirectories do not
