Hi folks, I just successfully installed a fink system using apple X11 on OS X.2.3 as follows:
download and install X11 and its SDK from apple. download and install fink binary from fink copy info file for system-xfree86 from unstable to local ran the following sequence of commands fink index ** sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install system-xfree86 sudo apt-get install gimp copy amaya-gtk info and patch files from unstable to local and run fink index again ** fink install amaya-gtk everything works more or less as expected (although I haven't done a lot of testing - just clicked a few buttons). In order to get the apple X to find the packages, using the customise option of the X11 Edit menu, I had to give full paths such as /sw/bin/gimp (not sure why) and the editing interface is not obvious - you add a new item,which is blank, then double-click on where the name will be to edit, then double-click where the command will be to edit that. You can use the xterm command as a model. * I don't know why I did this. Must have been tired ** I don't know why I did this either - I think the packages are now in stable. But I looked for them in apt-get and had no luck, and I didn't do a fink update-cvs (I don't think... it is late) so keep at it if you're having no fun - I ain't hardly the expert... cheers chaals PS Whisper is that Damian (Amaya package maintainer) has got 7.1 compiled, and it has been compiled successfully without packaging. So I hope there will be a new package for all you Amaya fans out there soon one way or another. -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles tel: +61 409 134 136 SWAD-E http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe fax(france): +33 4 92 38 78 22 Post: 21 Mitchell street, FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia or W3C, 2004 Route des Lucioles, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
