Greetings Fink Developers, I wanted to share some of my experiences building Fink under El Capitan 10.11 Public Beta-1. Unlike all the difficulties moving from 10.9 to 10.10 (due to the minor version becoming 2-digit) the bootstrap process was painless. Most of the packages that I’ve built thus far have gone without a hitch. Here is a list of a few specific issues I’ve run into:
0) as mentioned earlier, I got help2man-perl to build by modifying finkinfo/devel/help2man-perl.info to include "(%type_pkg[custom] = 5182) 10.11”. 1) gcc5 built successfully using the XCode app (vs. CLI tools) with /sw/etc/fink.conf "MaxBuildJobs: 1”. 2) gcc49 did NOT build successfully; it was initially missing the .info & .patch files. 3) po4a required a finkinfo/devel/pora-10.11.info file, with "Distribution: 10.11” inside (simply copied po4a-10.10.info & modified) 4) I forced cfitsio to build with gcc5 (since I couldn’t get gcc49 to build) by modifying finkinfo/libs/cfitstio.info to have "BuildDepends: gcc5” 5) gmt5 built successfully when I chose unixodbc2-nox, because: 6) qt3 did NOT build successfully 7) with those workarounds, I have succeeded to build my nominal set of tools: cdo, curl, fftw3, gcc5, gv, gifsicle, gmt5, grib-api, lftp, nco, ncview, wget All the best, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
