Dear Alexander and others: I have two machines on sierra, one updated (and is still running Xcode 7.3 with corresponding CLI tools, and it updated alright (but emacs did not need to be recompiled).
The other machine with sierra was upgraded to Xcode 8.0 and it fails to compile emacs (even with explicit install of Xcode CLI Tools). Does the current fink work with Xcode 8? I have not seen anything on this and it could be my fault for updating Xcode on this machine. (Perhaps my install list needs to be changed for new environment?) Q: Should I do a fresh new install or wait until fink has been tested with Xcode 8? My current fink /sw works, including emacs, so I could wait a while until/if Xcode 8 needs to be verified. (some of the compile failure shown below) Thanks, jw > On Sep 23, 2016, at 8:03 AM, Alexander Hansen <alexanderk.han...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > …snip... > You didn’t mention the essential point, which is that you updated to Sierra > before installing a fink which actually supports it—that’s why it broke.
