[Fink-users] About libmagic

[Alan]

I am wondering if it ever existed in Fink. I need libmagic.so and magic.h.

Using Mac Sierra and latest Fink.

Thanks,

Alan

Well, libmagic.so probably shouldn’t exist on OS X, unless it’s a plugin rather 
than a proper library.  There’s a file search function on the Fink webpage:

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/filefind.php

But, in this case, I’m assuming that what you want is from the “file” package 
family:

$ dpkg -L file-dev
/.
/sw
/sw/include
/sw/include/magic.h
/sw/lib
/sw/lib/libmagic.a
/sw/lib/libmagic.la
/sw/share
/sw/share/man
/sw/share/man/man3
/sw/share/man/man3/libmagic.3
/sw/lib/libmagic.dylib

Fionna-4:~ hansen$ dpkg -L file-shlibs 
/.
/sw
/sw/lib
/sw/lib/libmagic.1.dylib

(those really needs to have COPYING documents, if the maintainer happens to 
read this)
