  • the Fink project

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fink fink.sf.net – I assume the best available link for downloading … I created an articled titled “problems with fink and latest Xcode on Mac OS X” on this blog, that may be worth having a look at https://www.curlie.org/en/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Mac_OS/Software/Open_Source/ packages I use: coreutils – you may want to add /sw/lib/coreutils/bin at the beginning of your PATH wget…

  • ImageMagick, OS X, Xcode, fink, dependency hell

    After setting up Xcode on Lion properly yesterday and re-installing fink, I am now going through a dependency hell. I hope, everything will recompile smoothly – but you just never know. As cautious as I usually am, I renamed fink’s /sw just to /sw-, so that I can work around, in case things don’t work…

  • fink on Lion

    When I set up fink on Snow Leopard quite a while ago, I didn’t really care, where XCode and all that went. Now with Lion things are not running as smooth. I have to put /Developer/usr/bin on PATH. But that still doesn’t allow to successfully run ./bootstrap . How bad! I think I am going…

  • fink, XCode, connect.apple.com, …

  • MacPort/DarwinPort and Fink coexisting on my Mac

    Both coexist on my Mac, and sometimes installations complain about binaries resp. libraries in an incompatible format. MacPort/DarwinPort lives in /opt/local, Fink lives in /sw. In order for fine installations I sometimes have to temporarily rename /opt/local resp. /sw. After the successful installations I rename them back. I learned this lesson during the installation of…

  • Fink FAQ: installing a few “unstable” packages from “fink”

    Fink FAQ: installing a few “unstable” packages from “fink” I don’t exactly remember, when I configured fink to also install “unstable” packages, but now I think, that created a terrible mess on my computer. I ran “fink configure” today, and disabled the installation of “unstable” packages there. I hope, fink will work much smoother from…
