[Fink-devel] An option to build universal binaries ?
Hi, I would like to know if it would be possible to use fink to build a whole universal binary hierarchy under /sw ? the idea is to have a shared directory using nfs for ppc and x86 so if it exists an option to add to fink.conf, that would be nice to let me know Regards, Djamé - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

For this specific case, I'm assuming you're on 10.5: 10.4 does not have expat, so would need to play a lot of compatibility games or else each OS would need entirely separate package sets anything that used expat. The main reason many have pushed hard to use apple's openssl is for licensing and/or US cryptography-export-restriction reasons...fink's openssl is newer than apple's, last I checked. Yes, 10.5 here. For backwards compatibility the thing is clear and I also understand the versions issue. Currently the openssl version is the same, 0.9.7l, and expat is only a bit older, apple's 2.0.0, fink's 2.0.1. Interestingly, neither the main python25 packages nor the socket module packages actually appear to link libexpat at all and it was easy enough to have the socket lib link against apple's openssl (which solves a licensing issue), so now fink's python25 package does it all and the external socket packages are empty dummies. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

To do a cross-compile for PowerPC on an Intel box would require removing _every_ Intel binary library from the Fink tree, and then rebuilding every package for PowerPC. Not to mention that the low level binary package handler, dpkg, is only capable of coping with a single architecture. Maybe one could use a PowerPC and an Intel box, install identical package sets, and then manually generate universal binaries from the two fink trees. -- Alexander K.

Yes, in fact, this is what I did in my local version. I guess this could be changed and commited. Aleix - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
