Do beginners need custom versions, though? :) It seems that people who need custom versions would be able to figure out how to do it themselves... > > My main problem is getting the various libraries (libjpeg, libtiff) > etc.. to > compile as shared libraries under OSX.

You can copy the imagemagick .info and .patch files into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo , then put your source diffs in the .patch file, and whatever configure options you want into the ConfigureParams field in the .info file. Then you would still get the advantages of fink, like easy removal and upgrading. Fink info files use a very simple format. Anyway, if you want to look at fink's build files and patches, you will find the libtiff/jpeg/imagemagick files in: /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/graphics .info and .patch files. Also see http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/index.php for the packaging guide. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
