[Fink-devel] Fink cache bug?

2002-05-15 Thread Ben Hines
The "fink index" seems to index what you have installed, rather than what is in the info files you have. Is this a bug or a feature? Looks like a bug, but i'm not sure. :) An example: I had unrar-3.0b7 installed. I deleted the unrar3.0b7 info file and replaced it with a 3.0 file, and added

[Fink-devel] Enable -jN in your packages!

As a test I added: -j `hostinfo | grep processors | tail -n1 | sed -e 's/^.*,[[:space:]]\([[:digit:]]*\)[[:space:]]processors.*$/\1/'` just after the "make" command in the "glib2" package and "gnome-core" package (i had to add the standard compilescript to gnome-core) Here are the results:

[Fink-devel] Encouragement and Constructive Criticism

Hi Fink Developers, First of all, I want to thank you for the tremendous job you're doing. Please don't take any of my criticism in the wrong way; it's only intended to help. I'm new to OS X and Fink, but have had many years of experience with software development on many platforms, includin

Re: [Fink-devel] lesstif-dev: this time with amaya

2002-05-15 Thread David R. Morrison
Hi Martin. All that is being added is a BuildDepends, so I don't want to bump version numbers. The lesstif package is being built the same way, but now being subdivided into splitoffs. For testing purposes, I only put the new lesstif into unstable for a few days, so I could only add lesstif-dev

[Fink-devel] lesstif-dev: this time with amaya

2002-05-15 Thread Martin Costabel
I just did a fink update-all and the compilation of amaya broke with ../../thotlib/include/thot_gui.h:127: header file 'Xm/MwmUtil.h' not found etc. Turned out this was the same problem someone had yesterday with nedit: If one uses the unstable tree and did regular update-all's, then lesstif-de

I'm passing on a request from one of our users (made in correspsondence about a bug he reported). He uses dselect, and tried to install some things which are available as binaries, but they depend on other things which are not available as binaries. Is there any way we can add something to dsele

Hi, I have been trying to port qtfw to my Mac, thinking it might be an alternative to various shareware firewall guis (until the jag thingy sysprefs firewall arrives). It seems to need a header file called ostream.h (from Freebsd). Anyone know if there is an alternative in Darwin or in some

[Fink-devel] finkinfo files available via the web package interface?

2002-05-15 Thread Alex Blewitt
Hi, I'm using fink to install some packages not in the stable database, and followed the FAQ to move the finkinfo files into the main so that fink install would see them. However, the finkinfo file that I had was out of date with the current unstable version (a new version had appeared) so a
