A weird shell trick caused the build to continue even after an error was encountered, giving a deficient package. I just tweaked tightvnc build to crash there, so now we'll ABEND at the original point of the problem instead of down-stream. Unrelately, this thing looks like it's xmkmf/imake but has not been upgraded to use fink's xmkmf. IIRC, upstream says they are planning to move towards a more modern build system eventually. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
