Re: [Fink-devel] tar-1.26.4 under 10.12: error compiling

[Kevin Gardner]

 
Thanks for the feedback, TheSin; two things in reply:

1). Confirmed that this is a bootstrap installation of the new 
sierra-alpha-bravo branch. While the machine previously had an earlier fink 
installation on it, /sw was moved and a new shell was started before starting 
the bootstrap.  

2). Agreed 100% that the root of the error is indeed in this odd call for fink 
install; my reason for flagging tar was simply that it had clearly been 
untar’ed and had its tar.c file modified on the lines before this.  You raise a 
great point, though — why’s a fink install being called before the bootstrap 
has finished installing a number of utilities (incl. tar, dpkg)?

Glad to provide more info, etc. as helpful --
Kevin

Refresh your fink sierra-alpha-bravo, remove /sw, and try again, please. I 
missed updating an entry from 10.11 to 10.12 in a manual copy-paste operation 
in Bootstrap.pm, and that’s why you were assigned to the 10.11 distribution.


Perfect — working v. well now, thanks for the quick assist!

[Fink-devel] tar-1.26.4 under 10.12: error compiling

[Kevin Gardner]

 
Hi all:

Still haven’t been able to completely get through bootstrapping on 10.12 with 
the fink-sierra-alpha-bravo commit, unfortunately. While there’ve been nice 
advances over the past week or so, the current issue looks to be with configure 
falling on tar-1.26.4: 

———

/usr/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xf /sw/src/tar-1.26.tar.bz2 
 
perl -pi -e "s/(textdomain \(PACKAGE\)\;)/\1\ngettext\(\"\"\)\;/" src/tar.c
/sw/bin/fink -y install libgettext8-dev libiconv-dev
Use 'fink reinstall fink' to switch distributions
from 10.11 to 10.12.
'install' operation not permitted.
### execution of /sw/bin/fink failed, exit code 29
phase compiling: tar-1.26-4 failed
...

Package manager version: 0.40.99.git
Distribution version: selfupdate-point (bootstrap), 10.11, x86_64
Trees: local/main stable/main
Xcode.app: 8.0
Xcode command-line tools: 8.0.0.0.1.1470584367
Max. Fink build jobs: 4
——

If I try to manually build tar from within /src/src/fink.build/tar…, configure 
fails:  

sudo ./configure  
...
checking whether mknod can create fifo without root privileges... configure: 
error: in `/sw/src/fink.build/tar-1.26-4/tar-1.26':
configure: error: you should not run configure as root (set 
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 in environment to bypass this check)
...

It’ll build manually in an environment with the flag set as requested, FWIW.  

Can anyone verify this and suggest a fix?  

Many thanks,  
Kevin

[Fink-devel] giflib/libungif ftp site down for > 1 week

[Kevin Gardner]

Hi:
I've been trying to fink install giflib and/or libungif over the
past week as part of a windowmaker installation and have been getting
stopped at the curl step to get these files.  It looks like the
distribution site for these (http://prtr-13.ucsc.edu, a student-
run website for one of the UCSC colleges) may have discontinued
ftp access.  Any chance an alternative site can be wired in?

Thanks,
Kevin
