Re: [Fink-devel] gnome shlib depends
Philip Lamb wrote: [] When a package you are building has BuildDepends, you need to look into the .info file of each and every one of the packages that are depended upon, and add their BuildDepends to your BuildDepends line. In addition to what Daniel said: There are a couple of packages (two dozen or so in the gnome section) that help you with this by including a list of inheritable builddependencies. In their DescPackaging field, they say Any package which BuildDepends on this one must also BuildDepend on: This doesn't mean, of course, that packages which don't have this text can never have similar requirements. OTOH, watching the configure output for build dependencies is not a purely mechanical task either. Lots of configure scripts needlessly test for Fortran compilers, for example, and there may be many similar tests for things that are never used in the package. -- Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Fink-devel] Tool to bundle-ize shlibs from fink
Hi all, This might seem like a sacreligious quesion to ask, but has anyone made a tool to automate the process of bundle-izing a given set of shlibs from a fink installation? By bundle-ize, I mean making a copy of a given library and all its dependencies that live in /sw, and rewriting (with install_name_tool) the install name of the libs and their connections with each other so that they hang off @executable_path/ instead of /sw/lib. I ask because it could be a really useful tool for developers.. you generate some libraries using Fink, and then bundle them (paying attention to the license terms of course) inside an application which can then be distributed without any dependence on fink. At the moment I'm doing this manually, but with two libraries with another 6 dependent libraries, its time consuming to repeat each time the libs change.

[Fink-devel] Conditional use of InfoDocs: in .info file
Hi all, The package I am curently working on has two variants, with only one of them building a particular .info doc (to be installed in /sw/share/ info). However, it seems that the InfoDocs field in fink doesn't support the conditional syntax like: InfoDocs: (%type_raw[-variant] = -variant) somedoc.info Is there some other means to allow conditional use of the InfoDocs field?

There's a further complication for packages that have external data files, in that those file locations are often hard-coded and not managed by dyld. These might not matter for what you're doing (if you don't care about multilingual support for diagnostic messages, you wouldn't care if glib couldn't find its gettext catalogs), but other data files might be important for whatever you're doing. Try running 'strings /sw/bin/libwhatever.dylib | grep /sw' to see what comes up. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
