This one is still broken, independent of those env variables.
We worked a bit on #fink last night, and found that the variables appear to be passed correctly into the libx264-57 build. We also found that the build-bug in that package was reproduced on a ppc machine, which rules out endian while reading file contents (for analysis vs the mime database or whatever). So now we're down to "mime database couldn't be loaded". I think there are source files that are cached and the cache is used at runtime, so either the data files are missing or they aren't cached properly. On the machines where the build fails, is the shared-mime-info package installed? dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
