[Fink-devel] fauxsu-0.9.1-1 fails to build on 10.9

2014-09-10 Thread Hanspeter Niederstrasser 
The new fauxsu that was just checked into the 10.7 tree fails to build 
if Fink's sed is installed:

fauxsu-0.9.1/theos/bin/target.pl
fauxsu-0.9.1/theos/bin/vercmp.pl
sudo -u fink-bld [ENV] sh -c /tmp/fink.W_1N4
/tmp/fink.liQvL
+ sed -i '' -e s/libexec/lib/ Makefile
sed: can't read : No such file or directory

Can probably just get away with '/usr/bin/sed' instead of just 'sed'.

Also, later on there is this silent failure:

+ cp LICENSE /sw/build.build/root-fauxsu-0.9.1-1/sw/share/doc/fauxsu
cp: LICENSE: No such file or directory

1) This should be fixed to not try to copy a non-existent file,
2) DocFiles field does the same thing and is the preferred way.

Lastly,

Why is the pkg doing the whole spaghetti thing with mktemp, $d, and 
rsyncing to %d, rather than just using %i from the beginning? A safer 
place than /tmp is into a directory in %b that the fink build process 
controls 100%, and then copy from there as needed into %i.

Fink's Qt4 (mac or x11) lives in a private directory, so you have to 
tell the build script where to find things. Also, the package has been 
split up so that the libraries are all in separate SplitOffs, so you'll 
need to know which libraries (or Frameworks if you decide to use the 
-mac variant) it needs. There is just one headers/etc package for 
BuildDepends: qt4-base-x11 or qt4-base-mac.

CompileScript usually just needs the following line near the beginning:

export PATH=%p/lib/qt4-%type_pkg[qt4]/bin:$PATH

If that's not sufficient, 'fink info qt4-base-mac' has other compiler 
flags to try.
