Hello all,
I've recently run into an issue with an external piece of software that
compiles libgit2 for its own uses. Long story short, Fink's libiconv
produces a build conflict that is not easy to remedy. The github issue
discussing the problem is at:
https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3296
Carlosmn had an interesting comment on the matter:
We might have to specify the library directly on OS X as well instead of
relying on pkg-config to tell us cross-platform. But this doesn't solve the
problem of a pkg-config existing which expects to be used by a different
environment. If you install a libssh2 via Fink, we'd likely end up with the
same problem. The only system I've seen which handles this correctly is
homebrew, which installs libraries in their own prefix, making -I directives
only apply for a single library, instead of assuming everything is part of
the same alternate system.
Is switching fink to that sort of system feasible?
Thanks,
Sean
Why would we change how things have been set up for 14 years, based on some
random github guy who may not even have a clue about OS X?
As far as I know Homebrew installs in /usr/local, and therefore
cross-contaminates every other build automatically, since OS X’s build tools
implicitly find libraries and headers under /usr/local. Unless they’ve
changed that, of course.
The best way to make Fink play nice is
1) Remove any problematic -dev or other build-time-only packages.
Aha! Thanks, Dr. Hansen, that fixed it right up. :)
