[Fink-devel] Fink 0.38.99.git (TheCaptain) 10.11 Beta-1

2015-07-28 Thread John Lillibridge - NOAA Federal
Greetings Fink Developers,

I wanted to share some of my experiences building Fink under El Capitan 10.11 
Public Beta-1. Unlike all the difficulties moving from 10.9 to 10.10 (due to 
the minor version becoming 2-digit) the bootstrap process was painless. Most of 
the packages that I’ve built thus far have gone without a hitch. Here is a list 
of a few specific issues I’ve run into:

0) as mentioned earlier, I got help2man-perl to build by modifying 
finkinfo/devel/help2man-perl.info to include (%type_pkg[custom] = 5182) 10.11”.

1) gcc5 built successfully using the XCode app (vs. CLI tools) with 
/sw/etc/fink.conf MaxBuildJobs: 1”.

2) gcc49 did NOT build successfully; it was initially missing the .info  
.patch files.

3) po4a required a finkinfo/devel/pora-10.11.info file, with Distribution: 
10.11” inside (simply copied po4a-10.10.info  modified)

4) I forced cfitsio to build with gcc5 (since I couldn’t get gcc49 to build) by 
modifying finkinfo/libs/cfitstio.info to have BuildDepends: gcc5”

5) gmt5 built successfully when I chose unixodbc2-nox, because:

6) qt3 did NOT build successfully

7) with those workarounds, I have succeeded to build my nominal set of tools:
   cdo, curl, fftw3, gcc5, gv, gifsicle, gmt5, grib-api, lftp, nco, ncview, wget

All the best,
John

This is expected behavior. Support for the older FSF gcc releases are
deprecated on new OS releases as a nudge to force packages to migrate to
the current FSF gcc release.
