[Fink-devel] unneeded requirements

2003-01-31 Thread James Gibbs
If I am creating a package and the program adds features if compiled with library N, should I automatically make it a build dependency? Or should I leave it for the user to decide how it should be compiled? For example, if my software can read png, jpeg, and tiff if compiled with their libs,

In some packages, you can use a flag to the configure step to disable linking certain libraries. If that is possible, and you want to do it, then you don't need to make the library a dependency. However, if the library will be used whenever it is found and there is no way to disable that, then

snip Hmm, I might be able to do some of that... I know enough PPC assembler to do __asm__ statements inside C, but not enough to write whole functions (don't know how to do stack frames). I am learning it already. Found some pretty good information on it. Things like linked lists, btrees and

[Fink-devel] XFree86 4.3.0 close

The code freeze for XFree86 4.3.0 will be any day now. I believe the Mac OS X/Darwin part of the code base is pretty much in final form. Benjamin put together a package in fink unstable which builds something very close to the top of the tree. I would encourage as many people as possible to

Re: [Fink-devel] Fink script tip

If you start a script with #!/bin/sh, then the entire script is executed as a shell script (and you can even execute it as perl or whatever you like). Without that beginning, the commands in the script are executed one line at a time (which originally was the only method available). -- Dave
