[Fink-devel] validator request
fink validate has the following error message: Error: use of PatchFile requires declaring a BuildDepends on fink (= 0.24.12) or higher. (foo.info) Could this please be removed from the validator? I can't see a situation where this would be useful. No contemporary Fink installation will work with fink versions as old as 0.24.x anyway. -- Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Fink-devel] Old cruft in /sw/fink/update/ not 64bit aware
In the 2 threads lablgtk 1.2.7-1002 on 10.6 64bit fails to build and python-bibtex-py26-1.2.4-1 build failed on 10.6 64bit the error was caused by dylibs not linking with libintl.dylib, /sw/lib/libgtk-1.2.0.dylib in the first case and /sw/lib/librecode.0.dylib in the second case. Both dylibs do link with libintl on 10.5/32bit (probably on 10.6/32bit, too). The packages gtk+ and recode have in common that they use UpdateConfigGuess: true UpdateLibtool: true This brings in particular the extremely old /sw/lib/fink/update/ltconfig which defines deplibs_check_method='file_magic Mach-O dynamically linked shared library' In reality, the 64bit dylibs have Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library. The result is that libtool does not recognize that /sw/lib/libintl.dylib is a dynamic library, and it removes it from the linker list, accompanying this deed with the lie *** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lintl. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have. Is there a reason why we have these old versions of ltconfig, ltmain.sh etc in fink, versions that date from before the release of MacOSX 10.0? -- Martin -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Feel free to change it in fink's ltconfig, etc., and the problem should be fixed with the next fink release, but really I think that the 'Update*' fields should be deprecated, in favor of rerunning some version of autotools.
