Thanks Martin and Alexander. I haven't had a bunch of time, but I'm still
working on this. These particular suggestions haven't magically fixed
things, but they are helping. I'm going to also refer to the denyhosts.info
since that package is also originally authored by Phil Schwartz and I'm
guessing that the porting may therefore have similarities.

labplot.info could be updated to rev 6 along with a major update to labplot, as
it is a very big package to compile.

[Fink-devel] Fink and Apple

2007-01-04 Thread Matthew Sachs
On January 16th, I'll be leaving Apple to pursue opportunities in  
Boston.  I intend to continue working with Fink and hacking on  
buildfink, and Apple will be remaining involved as well.  Dr. Ernie  
Prabhakar, whom many of you know as the Open Source Product Manager,  
will be taking over my role as Apple representative.  For compiler  
and linker questions, Eric Christopher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from the  
compiler group will be available.

I've had a great time working with everyone, and I look forward to  
continuing to do so.  My non-Apple email address is  
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .

WhenI attempt to install this package, it detects a malloc.h file, then the
build crashes because it cannot find it.

You're not supposed to have a malloc.h on OS X.  Find it and move it out 
of the way.

[Fink-devel] go with newer glib2, or try to exclude 1 or 2 'bad' versions?

2007-01-04 Thread David Reiser
Dan Macks kindly upgraded glib2 in fink to a newly released version  
that doesn't break gnucash2 preference saving/reading. So glib2  
2.12.4 and lower works (don't even need 2.12, but I'd have to dig out  
just how far back gnucash2 can go), and glib2 2.12.7 works with only  
a few annoying warnings in the xterminal window.

Should I try to write a depends versioning declaration that excludes  
glib2 2.12.5 and 2.12.6 (I don't think 2.12.6 ever made it to fink)?  
Or do I just say glib2-shlibs (>= 2.12.7)?

This formulation is perhaps a little too terse and could lead to 
misunderstandings. There are lots of malloc.h on OSX, like

/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/sys/malloc.h
/usr/include/malloc/malloc.h
/usr/include/objc/malloc.h
/usr/include/sys/malloc.h

They are just "out of the way", that is they aren't found by a simple 
"#include ".

Only those directly in /usr/include or (more likely) /usr/local/include 
should be removed.
