I think the builddependency on xcode must be >= 3.1.1. The reason is ppl, which bdeps on gcc4.2. The latter is a virtual package that only exists when gcc-4.2 from xcode >= 3.1.1 is installed. If stock Leopard xcode-3.0 (and therefore no gcc-4.2) is installed, there is an error message Can't resolve dependency "gcc4.2" for package "ppl-0.10-1" (no matching packages/versions found) and the user has no way of finding out where this gcc4.2 package is supposed to come from: % fink info gcc4.2 Information about 8624 packages read in 0 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'gcc4.2'! I remember vaguely that this was discussed a couple of months ago already, but it only hit me now on a 10.5 machine that I tried to update-all. It had cernlib2005-gfortran installed which recently switched to bdep on gcc44. I am not otherwise interested in installing gcc44 on that machine, and did not even know that it was going to be installed, because before fink even gave the list of packages to update and to install, the above error message about gcc4.2 appeared. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
