I'm sure there are other optimizations for G4's, but one of Fink's goals is for the binaries that result from the source build process to always be the same no matter where they are built (with some exceptions). The -m options the koffice build are using are the same ones that the Darwin kernel is built with, so anyone running OSX should be compatible with those flags. They are, however, more agressive than the default optimizations of GCC just a tad, and since KDE is still pretty slow on Darwin, we're trying to do as much as we can. =) > PS... fink is very cool.

Actually, as of the recent 0.5.0a release, binaries are now available for KDE, so you can get them with apt-get and/or dselect. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
