Hi,
I have two question about fftw.info and in particular about two of the 
compilation flags:

1) what is the "real" meaning of the --enable-float flag?
Tells it to build a single precision (32 bit) library.
2) why the --enable-altivec options is omitted?
Because not everyone has a G4 or G5, and the thought is to have the 
package build exactly the same on every system (including G3s).

Blair:

g77 3.4 fixes some bugs that are exposed using the assembler apple ships
with the gcc 3.3 update (g77 3.3.1 won't work if you have the gcc 3.3
update).  There is nothing special about the 20030827 snapshot - it was
just the latest one available when I built the package.

Re: [Fink-devel] fort77 can't be compiled.

2003-09-30 Thread Jeffrey S Whitaker
Pascal:  If you installed the gcc3.3 update, "sudo /usr/sbin/gcc_select
3.1" and rebuild f2c and fort77.  If you haven't installed gcc 3.3, I have
no idea what's wrong.

netcdf needs it.  I don't think there are any others.  I think it is the
f2c package that is broken by the gcc 3.3 update however, not fort77.

Andrea and Max:  I have had users requesting a python23 package - that's
why I put it there (in unstable only).  You can easily switch back to
python22 if you want - "fink install python-2.2.2-4".  And for what it's
worth, in my experience python23 is already quite stable (I use it daily).
However, there's no getting around the fact that when you update python
from 2.2 to 2.3, all python modules (e.g. Numeric, PIL, etc) need to be
rebuilt.
