I am trying to install kde on OpenDarwin 7.2 running on PearPC.
If I try and install bundle-kde through dselect I get a kernel panic partway through.
So I tried
fink install bundle-kde
This seemed to be going through fine until I got the following:
Configure error: Could not find a support sound driver
### execution of LD_TWOLEVEL_NAMESPACE=1 failed, exit code 1
Failed: compiling esound-0.2.32-4 failed
Could you help me out please?
esound doesn't work on pure darwin unless you give it a null driver. We used to have an esound-darwin package back in the day that would basically give you a null esound, but I don't think it ever made fink proper.
You will have a *lot* of problems getting KDE working on pure darwin, if I recall correctly. I haven't tried to do it, myself, for a year or two, though.
In general, Fink itself should work on pure darwin, but a lot of packages make assumptions about mac os x stuff being there.
if you expect things to work at all, you'll probably want to build from source rather than using apt-get/dselect, and you'll want to make sure you have unstable enabled. Chances are, things will still break. You may or may be able to get help from the maintainers of packages that have problems, but fink isn't really designed/tested on pure Darwin.
