Yes. Use a custom install script of the form: InstallScript: << make install prefix=%i rm %i/foo1 %i/foo2 << Explanation: During the "install" phase of creating a package, fink is installing files into the directory whose internal abbreviation is %i: this script will allow the makefile to do its usual thing, and then will remove unwanted files. In terms of eventual locations within the fink tree, you should think of %i as standing for "/sw", and then give the remainder of the path to foo1 and foo2 (as many files as needed) in your script. Note that after the InstallScript has been executed, fink will package up whatever remains in %i and create the .deb file which is subsequently used to actually install things into your fink tree. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
