The pangocairo branch of Fink's CVS contains updates to almost everything that depends on GTK+2, including reasonably current GNOME packages. I believe that the the current status is that nearly everything works, except that there is a runtime issue with gconf on Leopard. These have to be implemented as a unit rather than piecemeal. Working with this setup would be easier than trying to build GNOME stuff by hand, at least in my view--the packages already know how to find Fink libraries and there's less reinvention of the wheel. One safe option to use these package descriptions would be to check them out in the fink local tree (e.g. local/pangocairo/finkinfo or something similar) so that they don't obscure the packages currently in release (replace %p by the Fink tree). cd %p/fink/dists/local cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink co -d pangocairo -rpangocairo-branch dists/10.4/unstable/main/ and then to add "local/pangocairo" to the end of the Trees line of /sw/etc/fink.conf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
