If you're going to build outside fink, you'll have to get used to rummaging around in configure and other places. Inside fink, the maintainer takes care of the oddities for you. Sometimes the flag would say: --with-qt-libs=DIR instead of --with-qt-libraries=DIR. The only place you find that out is from ./configure --help. And sometimes it gets weirder, if there is another level of subdirectory involved, sometimes you have to add more to the configure parameter, and sometimes not. That kind of thing you figure out by reading the configure output and recognizing odd results. > > Can someone help me to define the correct path and the correct > command to install packages? > > Thank you for any help. > On the plus side, it is much easier to get things to build on the Mac outside fink than it used to be, as the open source projects are getting more Mac specific cases built into their configure routines. We're not much weirder than some of the Linux variants, so really all the developers need is some feedback about what does and doesn't work for Macs with their software. Good luck.
