Mark: Just to put this all in a bit of perspective: I understand that the Debian project has around 700 developers. Fink has 20 core developers, plus another 20-30 people who have made substantial contributions. Apple offered some support to fink late last summer in the form of providing pre-r

You'll need to use strtoq instead. You should just be ably to -Dstrtoll=strtoq on the cc line, but that is ugly. Peter On Sunday, May 19, 2002, at 02:56 AM, Thomas Kotzian wrote: > i wanted to port graphviz - there's only 1 problem left (i hope so) > > when linking, i cannot find the symbol:

[Fink-devel] addnin default --mandir to ./configure

2002-05-18 Thread Thomas Kotzian
I would like to suggest that the default-Configure-call from fink ist not only ./configure --prefix=/sw but ./configure --prefix=/sw --mandir=/sw/share/man - it shouldn't harm any package because this is anyway the correct place for the man-pages ... ThomasK.

I'm trying to debug a problem for a user, and I believe I have isolted it to the fragment of a Makefile reproduced below. Is it possible that this behaves differently under zsh and bash? (I don't know my shell scripting very well...) I wondered if the test -f could be the culprit. THanks, D
