Peter, Neither the MacPorts project nor the Fink project recommend mixing files from the two. We're not trying to be difficult about this, it's just that keeping the incompatibilities among things within our *own* distributions is hard enough, without worrying about incompatibilities from the other distribution as well.
So don't be surprised when the volunteers on this list who offer their help free of charge are not eager to plunge in to difficulties you encounter when mixing the two projects gives you unexpected results. Most people who mix the projects do so accidentally, so one of the standard bits of advice offered here is "disable macports during fink builds and vice versa." I'm happy to hear that you've been able to get things to work together under some circumstances, and sorry that you're having trouble in others, but you may well be the only person who has tried to get a setup like this to work, so you may not find too much assistance for your troubles. -- Dave On Oct 30, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Peter Dyballa wrote: > > Am 30.10.2011 um 20:21 schrieb Jack Howarth: > >> ps The fact that you end up linking in from /opt/local strongly suggests >> that the emacs configure is looking in /opt/local >> for includes and shared libs which effectively causes fink to be mixed with >> MacPorts which simply won't work. > > How often do I need to state that I was using *some* modern compiler to build > a (MacPorts affiliated, because its the only provider of Open Source 64-bit > binaries) 64-bit version of GNU Emacs on purpose?
