Re: [Fink-users] how to modify a package
If you just want to modify a program, and not want to do a tarball so you can poke around the code, I did this with gpsdrive by using fink commander. Fink commander has a preference to keep the build directory after installation. The great thing about this was that it kept the source directory with all of the patches installed. I copied the directory out the /sw/src directory and into my home directory, made my changes, then just did a .configure and make. Everything worked as I had hoped.

Re: [Fink-users] What do you guys make of this?
I've got it running, it is great! You really can minimize stuff in the doc with quartz windows! Mine initially came up with the window maker window manager, the new one is quartz-wm. Anyway, if you just get rid of your .xinitrc, it automatically comes up with the quartz-wm. Otherwise you will have to do an execute quartz-wm in the .xinitrc. I ran gimp with it, looks great! -jeff On 1/7/03 12:20 PM, "Hisashi T Fujinaka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's fixed now.

Re: [Fink-users] X11 from Apple.com alongside XDarwin
I installed it. Seems okay. I ran Gimp with it. The odd thing is that it is still running window maker instead of it's own window manager. If anyone can figure out what it's window manager is called, I would love to try it. You can't minimize into the doc with window maker obviously. The windows do seem to drag with less tearing though! -Jeff On 1/7/03 12:13 PM, "Richard Kaszeta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone yet tried installing Apple.com's X11 server > (www.apple.com/macosx/x11) alongside Fink/XDarwin?

Re: [Fink-users] Compiling KDevelop
How did you reinstall the July developer tools? I tried doing that from the CD, but since I already had installed the December Developer tools, it wouldn't let me install an older version. It doesn't matter if you delete the /Developer folder, and get rid of stuff in the Private Frameworks folder, it still knows Dec. was installed and won't let you go back. Has anyone tried to go back to July from Dec.? BTW, I found no work around to get CVS recognized in the Dec. tools, and I wrote a bug report to Apple. -Jeff On 1/2/03 12:57 PM, "Nicolas Vollmar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've reinstalled july dev tools, oct dev tools patch and dez dev tools > and none of them has libstdc++.dylib :/ > Where can I get it? > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Alexander > Hansen > Sent: Donnerstag, 2.

Re: [Fink-users] Dec Developer Tools -- is it safe to install?
Does anyone know how to get the December Tools Project Builder to play with CVS? The old project builder, all I had to do was do a cvs checkout from the command line, then create a project in project builder which I added the files that I had just checked out with CVS. The new one doesn't seem to work that way, not sure what weirdness I have to do to "convince" it that CVS is there. -Jeff On 12/30/02 4:39 PM, "David R.

[Fink-users] Unable to find acceptable CC problem......
About a week or two ago, I found that I was unable to build some projects, like Lesstif and windowmaker, and I was getting the same problem that would occur if the developer tools were not installed. After some digging, I had found that the variables $CC and $LD, etc. were not getting set properly when running configure. I couldn't figure it out because if I ran them manually I was able to compile fine. To make a long story short, the problem was that I had downloaded "ksh" some months ago from AT&Ts website. Somehow ksh was being invoked in configure, and in this scope, $CC and $LD, etc. were not being defined, hence the dreadful problems I was having. I deleted ksh and it all works okay now. If anyone else runs into a similar problem, this is something you might look at. Thanks for all that tried to help with the problem... -Jeff Sanders ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
Re: [Fink-users] Configure error.....
Hi Martin,
I took a look at the config.log file you mentioned, and under the section
"Core tests" this line appears:
configure:1113: PATH=".;."; conftest.sh
So, I went into the configure file and I found this line in the script:
If { (echo "$as_me:1113: PATH=\".;.\"; conftest.sh") >&5
(PATH=".;."; conftest.sh) 2>&5
.
rm -f conftest.sh
I have absolutely no idea why it does this.

[Fink-users] Configure error.....
I'm having a problem installing some fink packages lately, although I had no problem building them in the past. I will use the example of the latest windowMaker, version 0.80.0-3 to explain the problem. When I try "fink install windowmaker", it will start to configure before doing a make. Then the problem comes about that says this: configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH Normally I would guess someone would flame back that I didn't install the developers tools. This is not the case at all. I have built many fink packages in the past and I've been very happy with what it does. Here are some more clues as to what is happening If I type "which cc", I get /usr/bin/cc More interestingly, I can run the configure file if I do it manually with a bit of tweaking. I su to root. (then) cd /sw/src/windowmaker-0.80.0-3/WindowMaker When I am in this directory and type "./configure", I end up with the same problem. However, after going through the configure file, I found that it looks for a couple variables called $CC, and $LD. (Actually, this was the case for a different project, WindowMaker's behavior is the same even though I haven't perused the configure file) If I do "setenv CC /usr/bin/cc" and "setenv LD /usr/bin/ld", then "./configure", it configures fine. In fact, this same problem happened with lesstif. I was able to build lesstif by doing this although I couldn't do it by typing "fink install lesstif" After doing the above, if I type "fink install windowmaker", I run into the same problems as before. I have no idea how to set these variables in windowMaker's scope. Does anyone out there know what the real problem here is, and how to fix it? Any ideas would be appreciated. -Jeff Sanders ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
