i'm bootstraping fink, with the modifications to the files before doing ./bootstrap.sh. when it starts compiling gettext, it eventually sprits out "ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library: /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib is not prebound" but it hasn't build libiconv yet! (I assume that gettext makes its own) but then how do I prebind that? none of it will prebind if that one file (used by almost everything) won't. :(
Any help would be appreciated,
JP

Hi John,
I dug up a copy of my old message from the list, here's the patch you need to apply. Note that it only works for packages which use autoconf/automake, all other packages Makefiles' will still have to be patched.

Hi all,
I realized today that there are many fink programs which could be prebound right now but aren't, even though the fink dylib automatic prebinding isn't quite ready yet.
Using 'otool -L' I made of list of binaries which link ONLY to Apple-supplied dylibs, there are probably more as this list reflects what I have installed.
Files should be compiled and linked with the '-prebind' flag. If a file can't be prebound the compiler/linker just skips the prebinding step and spits out a warning.
I'm proposing the following patch to fink:

The problem with this is that could cause a *lot* of regressions. Feel free to modify your local version of Fink and try, or even better, bootstrap a clean new install using it (verifying that still works with your change).
I am not really willing to put that into CVS just now, we are already trying to stabilize a fairly major change there, and I want to get a new release out of fink eventually. That said, one could always make a branch for this if you think it's useful to do so.
