Hi David, Here's another idea, how about setting up the distcc package on a bunch of fink developers' machines to help build the binary distributions? (Yes, with the default compiler settings binaries are compatible with both G3 and G4). I have a G4 dual-450, 10.2.3, stable IP, and would be wi

How easy would it be to write a virtual package that "provides: fft, blas, lapack" for 10.2? I can do it if someone would tell me how to add lines to the gcc string when another package builddepends on fft, blas, or lapack. JP --- This SF.N

John: It's not quite that simple. Most packages need to be patched to use "-framework vecLib" instead of "-L%p/lib -latlas -llapack -lcblas". The fft stuff is problematic since I'm pretty sure the vecLib fft has a different calling interface than fftw. No virtual package is necessary - any 10.2

I was thinking that a virtual package would be good if we could use it to "trick" existing packages than use fft/blas/lapack into using the native versions. Is there any way of having a virtual package change the gcc flags of a package that depends on it? JP On Friday, January 17, 2003, at 07
