I am attempting to modify the C++ code for an application (coot) which
effectively requires the use of Fink to build on OS X.  At the suggestion
of the package maintainer, I tried starting with this command:

sudo fink -k -K rebuild coot

which leaves the source directory in place.  However, any attempt to run
"make" in that directory after modifying the code fails, despite having the
Fink environment variables set.  I tried searching for additional
information, and found some additional suggested environment variables, but
those don't help either.  Re-running the fink command above simply wipes
out the directory and replaces it with a clean copy; I couldn't find any
solution for that other than modifying the Perl code for Fink.

So, I think I need to start over: what is the recommended mechanism for
rebuilding from source?  Is there a standard way to set up the environment
to be identical to what Fink uses internally when building packages?

(PS. OS 10.7, latest Xcode and command-line tools.)

thanks,
Nat
