It is a seperate package via fink that you have to install. The Darwinportsname is coreutils. The fink name should be not that different e.g. gnucoreutils or something similiar. If you install this fink package it "replaces" the Mac OS X equivalents of the package content. I don't know which other utils are in the fink package but here for Darwinports they include such packages as su, test, whoami etc. So if you have fink and the gnu coreutils package installed you use gnu-copy when you type cp instead of Mac OS X cp. This often doesn't make that much of a difference but in some cases the parameters are the same not the outcome :-) E.g out of my m107: M107 is build. No breakage nothing until it comes to packing. Here it fails with: No Dependencies ------------- cp -f /Volumes/Daten/OpenOffice/680_m107/build/solver/680/unxmacxp.pro/pck/openoffice/nologointro.bmp ../unxmacxp.pro/bin/intro.bmp mkdir -p ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/openoffice/msi_templates mkdir -p ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/ooolangpack/msi_templates /opt/local/bin/gcp -ua ../inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/openoffice /opt/local/bin/gcp -ua ../inc_ooolangpack/windows/msi_templates ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/ooolangpack cp -f ../res/nologoinstall.bmp ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/openoffice/msi_templates/Binary/Image.bmp cp: ../unxmacxp.pro/misc/openoffice/msi_templates/Binary/Image.bmp: No such file or directory dmake: Error code 1, while making 'hack_msitemplates' '---* tg_merge.mk *---' ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /Volumes/Daten/OpenOffice/680_m107/build/instsetoo_native/util One possible workaround would be to remove the -f flag since Mac OS X cp does know this option but not as --force or to use gnu-cp here too. Since I couldn't find where the -f option is added I solved the problem by using gnu-copy. >> To make it worse not only does end packing now need gnu-copy. >> Packing mozilla does too. >> I really don't understand this.

The reason may be that it is "standard" for Linux, BSD (?) and cygwin but not for Mac OS X. So the easiest solution was to ignore Mac OS X and let them take care on how to get gnu-copy. To our look it is in Darwinports and fink and perhaps in the NetBSD pkgmanager and the one of gentoo too. > OTOH if you need fink or Darwinports anyway for pkgconfig and it > replaces the Mac OS X cp why bother. Right. Maybe I'm a bit to puristic but it could be a boomerang once we move to Cocoa and Objective-C that we don't use Mac OS X tools. But this is future. For the present your right.
