How about going back to --program-transform-name but having it also act on bin/guild? That way we can have #1 (which is consistent with guile18) but have it done by the native build system (in case it does more than just a simple file rename). Something like: --program-transform-name="s|guile|guile-2.0|g; s|guild|guild-2.0|g" The rev-up (for whatever solution is chosen) would be also be a good chance to switch guile20 to readline7. dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman/fink-users/ Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
