Hello all, I've recently run into an issue with an external piece of software that compiles libgit2 for its own uses. Long story short, Fink's libiconv produces a build conflict that is not easy to remedy. The github issue discussing the problem is at:
https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3296 Carlosmn had an interesting comment on the matter: "We might have to specify the library directly on OS X as well instead of relying on pkg-config to tell us cross-platform. But this doesn't solve the problem of a pkg-config existing which expects to be used by a different environment. If you install a libssh2 via Fink, we'd likely end up with the same problem. The only system I've seen which handles this correctly is homebrew, which installs libraries in their own prefix, making -I directives only apply for a single library, instead of assuming everything is part of the same alternate system." Is switching fink to that sort of system feasible? Thanks, Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.
