At a high level, I am interested in using a tool like Fink to bootstrap a build
server using OS X 10.8. Ultimately, I need to build mono and libgdiplus from
source to allow us the ability to backport fixes if necessary. Libgdiplus has
quite a few dependencies such as:
pkg-config
gettext
glib
freetype2
fontconfig
libpng
libjpeg
libtiff
libgif
libungif
X11 SDK
That is where I would link Fink to help out. It is important that we have the
ability to easily reprovision our build server in the case that it fails. I
plan on checking all these dependency source tar files into source control so
we don't have to depend on them always being available on the internet. I
would like to be able to tell Fink to install all of these libgdiplus
dependencies and possibly libgdiplus as well, pulling all of them from the
local tar zip files on disk rather than from the internet. Can it do this? If
so, is there an easy way to get all these dependencies on disk and avoid having
to create Fink packages for each?
Once I have this all configured for the Mac, I would like to be able to use the
Fink package(s) etcetera to bootstrap a Debian box using a Fink equivalent
(APT)? Would this be possible?
