Benjamin, Yes, freeglut has a BuildDepends on x11-dev. The user didn't get the package to build (because he didn't realize X11SDK wasn't installed) and had somehow hacked the build to work by changeing the includes from GL/gl.h to OpenGL/gl.h. The point is that it would seem that fink isn't bei

[Fink-devel] x11-dev and X11SDK

2006-07-10 Thread Jack Howarth
I had a report today from a fink user who had problem building the freeglut package. The problem was that he had forgotten to install the X11SDK. Does anyone know what if any warning fink gives when a package requiring x11-dev is built without the system-xfree86-dev virtual package being install

One other observation on this situation. I have noticed that RedHat (who is never shy to use pre-release gcc's or glibc's in Fedora) still hasn't adopted gcc 4.2 in either their development or FC6 testing releases. This is a big red flag that gcc trunk is too volatile for use in released softwar

Dave, In this case, I don't think the approach of making a compatibility package is appropriate or wise. The current gcc4 in unstable, based on the gcc snapshots, is neither fish nor fowl. It has a libgfortran which has alway forked away from the ABI used in libgfortran from gcc 4.1.x. So to cl

Re: [Fink-devel] looming gcc4 problems

2006-07-10 Thread David R. Morrison
The standard way of handing this situation is to introduce a new package name for the package which provides a shared library that is not backward compatible with the previous one. So, for example, gdbm3-shlibs instead of gdbm-shlibs. That is why the symlink from / sw/lib/libgdbm.dylib is

[Fink-devel] looming gcc4 problems

2006-07-10 Thread Jack Howarth
We are going to have problems soon with anything built with the gfortran from the gcc4 package in unstable. The libgfortran in the gcc trunk has forked enough from the ABI of the previous 4.1.x versions that the gcc developers will be bumping the versioning on that shared library. It hasn't hap
