[Fink-users] Compiling on 10.2.3 with path = /usr/local

2003-01-20 Thread Matthew Herberg
I know it's not recommended, but I can't install the latest fink source package under /usr/local. I've even cleared /usr/local entirely, in order to ensure there are no conflicts arising from within the folder. I can compile all the base packages if I chose /sw, but not if I chose /usr/local.

[Fink-users] tip: getting rid of xtools

2003-01-20 Thread Lawrence Paulson
I installed Apple's X11, but fink would not let me install system-xfree86. It said you appear to have xtools installed, even though I had been using OroborOSX for many months. It was looking like I'd have to wipe all of /usr/X11R6. But it turns out you only have to erase this directory:

[Fink-users] need make 3.80

2003-01-20 Thread Gregory Seidman
I have a build system that depends on some of the features in GNU make 3.80, but MacOS X 10.1.5 (which I am still running) and Fink (even unstable) still have only 3.79.1. I'd like to make a .deb from the latest make source so that I can manage it with Fink, but I don't know how to go about it.

The archived status of control center is because you initially installed packages that only needed control-center-dev and control-center-shlibs; all three packages are generated in the build process, but only -dev and -shlibs got installed. This is normal. scrollkeeper-update is an executable
