until now I just had system-xfree86 and system-xfree86-shlibs installed, as I have an old xfree86 manually installed.

after trying to update GIMP, I got:

does the new version requires the fink version of xfree86?

there is also, of course, X11 by Apple on board (OSX 10.3.4)
You are missing system-xfree86-dev, which is provided by the X11SDK package (an optional install from the XCode Tools) and is required to install packages from source.

Is this really correct? I think Apple's X11SDK is only needed (for building other pacckages) when one installs Apple's X11.



Right: Claudio has Apple's X11 and is building packages and therefore needs the SDK.


When I upgraded to 10.3(.4), I did *not* install the X11SDK from Apple. I *did* install everything else from the XTools CD. I then removed my existing fink-installed XFree86 (3.3 or 3.4, as I recall) and followed up with at complete build of fink's XFree 3.99. I have also been rebuilding other X-enabled packages with no problems.

Am I missing something? Lucky?


XFree86 (from Fink or otherwise) generally installs all of the development headers and libraries whereas Apple's X11 split the development stuff off into the separate SDK package.


Thanks,
Mar
