Re: [Fink-devel] bootstrap process
Unfortunately Solaris' mv is too brain dead such that it won't work unless I use another mv. Actually, more fiddling reveals that fink probably needs to be rewritten to port to another platform at all (and I'm not going to advocate this, at least not on fink's own mailing list :-] ). There is a lot of hard coded assumptions (in fink's perlmod) about a system that I ended up vandalizing a lot of code just to try on Solaris. These assumptions probably deserve to be abstracted away from the code. That said, on a Mac OS X system, I'm perfectly happy with the way Fink is. I only wish it would be a drop in package management solution for commercial *nix not limited to Mac OS X if Fink can be more generic. liulk On Jan 24, 2004, at 8:21 PM, David R.

[Fink-devel] bootstrap process
Hello, I'm currently (playfully) porting fink to Solaris 2.6 platform. While I obtained gcc 3.3 and setup various gnu tools to best match the 10.3 environment (and even created a special sun4u distribution), phase two of the bootstrap process bails out. It happens right after successfully compiling gettext (bootstrap) and during the installation of the first split-off package. The transcript is the following (where the middle tedious parts have been eliminated). >8 Bootstrapping a base system via /sw/bootstrap. mkdir -p /sw/bootstrap mkdir -p /sw/bootstrap/bin mkdir -p /sw/bootstrap/sbin mkdir -p /sw/bootstrap/lib mkdir -p /sw/var/lib/dpkg touch /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status touch /sw/var/lib/dpkg/available touch /sw/var/lib/dpkg/diversions Reading package info...

Anyone can enlighten me of this? liulk ps. Please cc me a copy of responses, as I'm not on the list. Unfortunately I cannot devote much attention to read all discussions on fink-devel, as much as I would like to. pps. I did a search on the mailing list of the keyword "bootstrap" but nothing relevant turned up. --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
