You are an optimist :-) > 1. Upgrade to XCode 3.1.1, which is fully supported and without any > crippling bugs. Not so. The X11sdk.pkg from xcode-3.1.1 has a couple of incompatibilities with the X11 that comes with Leopard 10.5.2 or later. These appear regularly on the Fink lists and are mentioned in Fink FAQ#7.8. Example: /usr/X11/lib/libXdamage.la from xcode-3.1.1 transmits a library_name of libXdamage.1.1.0.dylib to the standard compilation tools, but libXdamage.1.1.0.dylib does not exist on Leopard X11 as supplied by Apple, only libXdamage.1.0.0.dylib and libXdamage.1.dylib exist. > 2.

For the time being, I am finished testing. Until others test this or some core Fink developer comes back from hibernation and proposes something better, nothing more will happen on this front. > 3.

Yes; and if you do this without first removing /usr/X11 from Leopard, thus conserving xmkmf/imake, you will have the best currently available X11 installation. Just make sure that you reinstall the latest xquartz update after every softwareupdate from Apple or after installing xcode tools. > 4.

I suspect that X11 on MacOSX 10.6 will look pretty much the same as on 10.5.6. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
