This is the output of console:
running InstallationCheck...
Fink Installer: This Installer is for Mac OS X 10.4, not . Bailing out.
Which is the output when the following code in installation check is fired
off:
# x.y.z form (10.4.6, for example)
my $OSXVersion = qx{defaults read
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion ProductUserVisibleVersion};
$OSXVersion = '' if !defined $OSXVersion;
chomp $OSXVersion;
# make sure OS X version is the distro for which we're configured
if ($OSXVersion !~ /^\Q$target_OSX./) {
print "Fink Installer: This Installer is for Mac OS X $target_OSX,
not $OSXVersion. Bailing out.\n";
# no printf in .strings, so gotta case on hard-coded values:(
if ($target_OSX eq '10.3') {
$errmsg = 20;
} elsif ($target_OSX eq '10.4') {
$errmsg = 21;
} else {
$errmsg = 4;
}
last;
}
And my $target_OSX = '10.4'; meaning I don't understand why the code is
getting fired off. The comment after the setting of the target_OSX variable
bothers me though: "# is replaced by buildpkg.sh script" . Is that changing
the variable so that it doesn't equal 10.4 and my system doesn't validate
correctly? Or is that just a comment about the compile time processes when
the installer was made?
