Good, that was my thinking. > I'd guess (without having tried it myself) that your problem is that > it needs to run a configure script to generate Makefiles and the like, > and in specifying a CompileScript you've overloaded the default > behavior, which is > > ./configure %c > make > (cf. http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/reference.php?phpLang=en#fields > , under the CompileScript heading). Try taking out your > CompileScript. I only put it in because I was at step 2.2 of the quick start tutorial, trying to just build it, and I got this error: Can't exec "./configure": No such file or directory at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 584, <DATA> line 1. [see below] Admittedly, it's not identical to the error in the tutorial, but I tried the remedy anyway. Perhaps it's the wrong solution here. > Also, once it builds, if the package encodes python version > information in itself in any way, you're going to have to make this a > versioned package (-py23 and -py24 variants) and depend on the > appropriate flavor of py-qt. Okay, I reckon I'll work on that if I can get it to build. :-) == line 584 from Services.pm is this one: system(@wrap, $cmd); from here: # Execute each line as a separate command. foreach my $cmd (split(/\n/,$script)) { print "$wrap_token$cmd\n" unless $options{'quiet'}; system(@wrap, $cmd); $? >>= 8 if defined $? and $? >= 256; if ($?) { my $rc = $?; if (not $options{'quiet'}) { my ($commandname) = split(/\s+/, $cmd); print "### execution of $commandname failed, exit code $rc\n"; } if (defined $options{'delete_tempfile'} and $options{'delete_tempfile'} == 1) { # probably keep tempfile around (to aide debugging) unlink($script) if $is_tempfile; } return $rc; # something went boom; give up now } } Thanks!
