The issue of build failures from development libraries
in /usr/local seems to come up endlessly. I have wondered
if there is some way that a 'strict' build mode could be
introduced into fink. The idea would be for packages known
to commonly suffer from this issue, the info file could
invoke a strict mode during the fink build process where
fink would first look for headers or static libraries in
/usr/local. If found, the build would abort with a clear
message that /usr/local needs to be moved aside. Unless
the package maintainer included the strict build keyword
in the info file, this check would not normally occur.
Can't the package itself just do this on its own during CompileScript?
if -e /usr/local/include/evil.h ; echo you need to move /usr/local ;
exit 1
No need to add extra code to fink and have it maintain an ever growing
list of possibly offending headers/libraries.
