Re: [Fink-devel] Using getopt_long

2003-03-13 Thread Daniel Macks
The description of the GNU getopt package ('fink desc libgnugetopt') tells you what you have to do to enable use of that library: Use with -lgnugetopt for linking and gnugetopt/getopt.h for include. Assuming whatever you're porting respects the usual variables, you can either add:

masanori and all this has come up a week ago or so in context of building gtk+2 with xfree4.3. i did a fink update all as well (after i updated manually to xfree4.3) and of course gtk+2 failed in the configure phase. now i looked a little further: from the pango1-1.0.5-3.info file: This

Hello David (and others), I don't know what the situation is with KDE, but I brought this up a month or two ago regarding any package that links to the lesstif or openMotif libs. The strategy of the Motif folks is to extend the functionality of certain X11 libs by resolving some symbols which

Re: [Fink-devel] readline-shlibs-4.3-5 (trouble installing/compiling librep)

2003-03-13 Thread David R. Morrison
IIRC, the shared library in readline is NOT build with libtool, but rather is added by hand in the fink CompileScript. I don't know why it's done this way, but I can see where another package expecting to find the shared library mentioned in the standard libtool .la file would be disappointed.

We keep getting requests / bug reports due to problems caused by packages missing from the bindist (ghostscript). There is no really useful error message printed in these cases by apt-get / FinkCommander etc. right now... So I think it would be good to at least have a FAQ entry that explains
