David, While you are adding this to fink, would it be possible to use some MacOS X system call to detect the presence of 64-bit support on the processor? I have thought it would be handy to have such a flag as available for checking in info scripts for such cases as a gcc42-64-bit package

A quick followup thought: if we add --libdir='${prefix}/%lib' to the % c defaults, then we should introduce a NoSetLibdir command to disable that when necessary. -- Dave On Nov 18, 2006, at 8:43 AM, David R. Morrison wrote: Dear fink developers, I solicit your comments on the proposals
