Also, check through the configure readout for possible use of fink packages. Do a '.configure --help' to look for possible use of fink packages. For example, if there is an option --with-qt, you either have to use --with-qt and depend on qt, or use --without qt. Finally, when you are done, do 'otool -L 68kasm' to look for lib linkages, any in /sw generally mean a fink dep and builddep. ## Unpack Phase Source: ftp://ftp.redlinelabs.com/pub/bsvc/%n-%v-src.tar.gz Source-MD5: d6ea564a0fc73fe96a16b503c811d865 ## Patch Phase Patch: %f.patch We've been switching to %n.patch. .info files are now called bsvc.info. .patch files are now called .bsvc.patch.

[Fink-devel] Questions about .info file
Thank you to all the people who answered me about creating a .patch file. I would enjoy to help the community by porting some software; but now I am still learning ;-) The software I am trying to port is bsvc (a Motorola 68000 simulator & assembler). I managed to patch and compile it and I have also started to write .info and .patch files. The software uses simple makefiles (not automake) and I had to create a makefile for Mac OS X (diff should have added it into the .patch, right?). I had also to change some settings in the common makefile, but I am not sure how to do this. I explain: there is a PROJECT_BASE environment variable to set in this file. But I cannot set it here, because only fink know this information. So I thought I had to define it in the .info file using %b expansion: SetPROJECT_BASE: %b But "fink validate" does not like this :-( How can I define an environment variable in the .info file? Another question is about documentation. Is "DocFiles:" sufficient to automatically copy documentation files to %i/share/doc/%n? Is there a way to recursively add the content of a doc folder (with something like doc/*)? And finally, I have put .info and .patch files in /sw/fink/dists/local/main to test them. But "fink install" tells me "Failed: no package found for specification 'bsvc'!" II run "fink scanpackages" but It does not change anything... How to manually add a package to test it?
