If you get the source, there is an “INSTALL.txt” file that tells you how to do the install. The problem is the name of the required external packages are for linux repos, but similar packages I believe exist in Fink. So for the client it says:
> ##CLIENT MACHINE## > ensure depenencies are met on the client machine > ~$sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb python-qt4 python-qscintilla2 xdg-utils what i suggest is this. Do a “ fink list” on the core part of these names: fink list mysql fink list qt4 fink list qscintilla2 fink list xdg and you will see the equivalent FInk package, such as "pyqt4-mac-py27” for python-qt4. Install all the needed packages from fink, and you are down on the client side. Rinse and repeat for the server side. Hope that gets you going. -Roy > > On Sep 5, 2015, at 7:19 PM, William Alexanders <alexanderswill...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Thanks for this Alexander.
