Dolt is a hugely brain-dead non-portable non-solution to...well, everything it would purport to do in the name of being an intelligent portable solution. It's likely more prone to fail on intel Mac (because it may think it's a linux box) than on ppc (where it just gives up). The best solution is to hack ./configure or whatever to make dolt think it's not a dolt-supported platform, and then it will fall through to the normal, actually-portable libtool or similar approach. Our webkit package has one such hack for this. > >Now, I am not exactly done with compiling GnuCash.

Nothing at all has anything to do with gnucash, and evince build failures have nothing to do with gtkhtml build failures. 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
