As i'm in the process of useing Fink to install the needed deps to
build Pd-extended i noticed a few things i'd like to ask about.
The fist is related to the Tcl/Tk "issue". Useing Fink it happens
that Tcl/Tk [1] is a dependency for the fftw3 packages. Using the
unstable tree, gives a Tcl/Tk of version 8.4.13. Now, will then
that version of Tcl/Tk be used instead of the version supplied by
Apple.
...this won't conflict with the apple/aqua tcl/tk: the fink one is
different (ie. works thru x11)...fink does use tcl to do some of it's
package handling...
Another dependency is the packaged called odcctools [2]. I don't
understand why. I know the info page say it is to "support gcc4",
but then why does it/Fink also install (yet another version of)
GCC? I don't understand it especially since there is already a
version of GCC installed with the XCode Tool, which was used to re-
build Fink.
...XCode by default only installs one gcc version, but it's useful to
have multiple versions around, especially when trying to compile
software that may require a specific compiler version to compile...ya
might want to read up on fink: it installs many things which you may
not directly need, but that the package maintainer needs to provide
the programs you do want...it all goes into /sw anyway, so if you
decide you don't like it, just delete...
