Remko, That is the plan. We always migrate fink to the latest gcc4x packaging but this takes time to execute. Jack On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Remko Scharroo wrote: > Dear Fink Developers, > > Today I saw the first dependency on gcc49 in fftw3.info. > > This is a major pain since (a

[Fink-devel] Dependencies on gcc49?

2014-04-29 Thread Remko Scharroo
Dear Fink Developers, Today I saw the first dependency on gcc49 in fftw3.info. This is a major pain since (as far as I know) all other package require at most gcc48. When that introduction does not go paired with upgrading ALL packages that now require gcc48 to be requiring gcc49 this will rem

Daniel, Isn't the real problem that r-base in fink is being built with --with-system-pcre but the fink lib pcre.1.dylib ends up linked into libR. I assume we need a BuildConflicts on libpcre1 in order to have the system pcre used. Jack On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Danie

Using (apparently-)undocumented, internal implementation details that are known to change in different versions is *always* a problem. Any solution that doesn't involve actually not-doing-that is merely deferring the same failure from occurring again in the future when those details change agai

Isn't this just a header mismatch? We have both a build depends on libpcre1 and --with-system-pcre which is illogical. I am testing with --with-system-pcre changed to --with-pcre=%p. FYI, macports doesn't pass either flag and incorrectly ignores pcre. On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Daniel Macks wrot

(sorry if this email goes out twice!) I don't think that's the meaning of "system". R appears to have optional onboard/internal sources of various dependencies as an alternative to using ones existing "on the system". *Where* on the system is a different issue. You can probably check the .d fil

Well, empirically it fixed the r-base214 build on 10.8 for me by just changing --with-system-pcre to --with-pcre=%p. It would be highly irregular for the --with-system-pcre option not to be pushing the headers in /usr/include to be used. On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Daniel Macks wrote: > (sorry i

Okay, I now see that disables the use of pcre. Guess someone should open a PR upstream, no? Do we really gain anything of use by having R-base build against pcre? On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Jack Howarth wrote: > Well, empirically it fixed the r-base214 build on 10.8 for me by just > changing --

Why would they want a bug report against such an old version? Are newer versions not-broken? I'm pretty sure I already mentioned exactly what change they made in newer versions to avoid trying to access the internals of the external libpcre. dan On Tue, 29 Apr 2014 13:44:34 -0400, Jack Howart

My mistake. I thought you had said the problem existed in the newer versions but was latent rather than fixed. On Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Daniel Macks wrote: > Why would they want a bug report against such an old version? Are newer > versions not-broken? I'm pretty sure I already mentioned exac
