I've downloaded GNUstep and am about to compile it. Some of it's required software I have installed by fink. I've noticed that when compiling via fink it passes on many includes and lib dirs to the compiler. I was wondering if anyone had a list of all these dirs or knew where i could look for them.
Would it be easier to make a .info file for GNUstep? and how would I do that. and how do I make it install to /opt instead of /sw?
One of the required libs is ffcall. I was curious as to whether this is available via fink (i can't find it) and whether it conflicts with anything.
Thanx in advance
Yes, it probbably would be easier to make an info file for GNUstep. That wat you know where everything is located. Moving fink is easy, but it takes a long time. just rm -rf your fink folder, and X11 dirs, and then get the source installer from the website, and when it asks for a location, just tell it /opt. easy :-) the down side is that you cannot use pre-made debs from most other people, and need to compile everything from source. ;-)
