That’s fine, though there’s probably really no need to do every package at the same time apart from convenience. For example, the HDF5* packages build static libraries and so they don’t have any runtime dependency on gcc* to get in the way. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman/fink-devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
