But I may not be recalling correctly, so I hope that someone will correct me if I'm wrong. This sounds like what happened to me with libfreetype in my ploticus2 package. I have it depending on the fink-installed version, but couldn't ensure that it didn't use the X11-installed one. My solution was to add -dylib_file /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib:/sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (with /sw appropriately abstracted, of course) to the link flags. It's intended (I think) for situations where you have a single copy of the library installed in a non-default location, but it seems to work just as well when the library exists in both the default and a non-default location. Check in the ld man page. I've been using a combination of SetLDFLAGS: -L%p/lib/freetype2/lib -Wl,-search_paths_first, and carefully crafted Makefiles - it's working (albeit with a small amount of set-up), but at least I'm not clobbering the packages that work fine with the X11 installed freetype2. -t --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

You've just stepped beyond the boundaries of known space :) AFAIK, fink isn't super happy about switching out the Apple-installed compiler - and I'm not entirely sure that it would get rid of the -pthreads messages - they still occur under gcc-4... My recommendation would be to not change out the compiler if you want other people to use your work.

I use fink and am from an AIX background, but have also used Mac since they came out. What's needed to start with a couple and see how things pan out? Michael Bradshaw That's a great way to get started with helping fink -- thanks for the offer. What I would recommend is choosing some packages without maintainers (from http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/nomaintainer.php) which are of interest to you -- its always best to volunteer to maintain things which you'll actually be using. You should investigate the package a bit: find out if there is more recent version, and if it needs updating. (You should also verify that it actually maintainer-less: once in a while the list gets confused by inconsistencies between the different fink trees.) You can get help in updating or revising a package by looking at other packages, by reading the online documentation, and/or by asking here. When you are ready to submit a new version, use the package submission tracker, mention that you are volunteering to take it over, and list yourself as the new maintainer on the package. We ask our inexperienced package maintainers to use the submission tracker at first, where more experienced fink folks can help them with their first submissions. After you've gained experience, you're likely to be invited to become a fink developer.

[Fink-devel] Re: Validation change
How about having 'fink validate' by default always display all
warnings (regardless of user's verbosity setting), and add a
--no-pedantic flag for validate to hide the pedantic/formatting
messages? That way packagers don't accidentally not catch mistakes but
those who want to see major/functional mistakes can easily separate
the wheat from the chaff.
