Hello Fink developers. I hope this isn't too irrelevant to this list,
but I'm trying to get a program to compile for Darwin/X11 and I don't
really know what I'm doing, but I having fun so I thought I'd stick at
it. There is a Linux Makefile but it doesn't work (I can provide more
details). Anyway, in my blind searching for ideas, I thought I'd learn
what automake and autoconfig do, and i thought I might be able to make
a configure file for this software automatically and then magically get
it to compile and run. :) I know I'm probably naive about this but
what the hell, it'll be fun if it works and maybe it can become a fink
package ...
The program is for phylogenetic analysis and is called SplitsTree and
has already been ported recently to MacOSX running TclTkAqua, but I
thought it'd be cool to get it to work on X11.
Anyway, would anyone be able to advise me if I'm crazy and should stop
now, or ... if it just might work, and if so, perhaps suggest what's I
should do with the my configure.ac file that makes automake give the
errors I've pasted below? (p.s. I did run aclocal but it doesn't make
any difference...)
sorry if this is too OT or if I'm barking up the wrong tree - but
thanks heaps in advance for any help - Fink is awesome and if it wasn't
for Fink, I would never have got into trying such cool things as this -
might have been a good thing ;) If I should be asking this on a
different list, then please let me know - this seemed the best one I
could think of...
Cheers, David Orlovich.
