Re: [Fink-beginners] Total newbie, how do I start?

[Daisuke Koya]

I may have to elaborate further to let people know that looking back, I cannot vouch that it was the short tutorial in iCreate that helped me or not, since I've done so many random things I lost track. I think what helped was to type the following line, which I believe is some kind of script     . /sw/bin/init.sh The short tutorial in iCreate was for Panther and an earlier version of Fink, so I had to be a little creative to make it work for Mac OS 10.4.2 and Fink 0.8.0. I still cannot get the Xwindow environment to start up, although I was able to install and run a few simple X11 packages. I did find a potentially useful website in the form of      http://people.ucsc.edu/~jacobkm/tkinter_osx_howto.html . However, I don't know what this XDarwin thing is. Could someone tell me where to find this application? Many thanks.

If anyone (Daisuke?) could share the fink+Apple X11 first-time setup process for OS 10.4+ that might be very helpful. The Darwin+X11 FAQ, as I mentioned before, seems to not match the behavior and files one finds on a brand-new factory-installed 10.4 system. If Daisuke found better info in a magazine, maybe the FAQ needs updating? Thanks. On Jul 14, 2005, at 11:09 AM, Daisuke Koya wrote: Thank you all again for your help. I've somehow got Fink to work in Apple X11 through a short tutorial given in issue 16 of iCreate Magazine, pages 070 ~ 071.
