Hi.
I am currently writing a .info file to compile a gtk version of scilab, which has, among others, some dependencies, e.g. gnome-libs, and gnome-libs-dev at build time.
Each time I am trying to build my package, fink wants to recompile ALL the gnome stuff, although everything already exists in a binary package in the stable branch. Why ?
Thanks for help
S.
Because the 'fink' command doesn't care about the existence of the binary distribution. However, if you are using fink-0.23.1 or later, you can tell fink to access the binary distribution as well:
fink -b install <package>
will, for a single run, download any dependencies of <package> that are available in binary form and use them.
If you want this to be permanent, then if you run "fink configure" you will now be asked whether you want to use packages from the binary distribution if available. (UseBinaryDist: yes in fink.conf)
