Sébastien,

I haven't followed this new feature that closely, as don't do HFS+ to HFS+

ethereal

I recently wiped out my /sw directory and made a fresh install of fink. 
  The only package I've tried to install so far is ethereal, and 
something's wrong.  If I do a binary install, it appears to work fine, 
and it installs all the dependent packages and libraries, but there's 
no ethereal executable anywhere.  Source install also fails near the 
end, possibly something wrong with my gcc, but first I want to figure 
out why the binary install doesn't work.  Any ideas?  Here's what 
happens when I install:

The following package will be installed or updated:
  ethereal
/sw/bin/apt-get -q --ignore-breakage --download-only install 
ethereal=0.10.9-11
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following NEW packages will be installed:

The precompiled ethereal binary is known to be broken. See:

Fink doesn't support changing compile flags automatically.  You can
manipulate, for example, the ConfigureParams line in the kdevelop.info
file to change what configure flags are used.

Re: kdevelop

i'm having a look to kdevelop.info, but i'm not understanding a lot.

ConfigureParams: --includedir=%p/include --libdir=%p/lib --prefix=%p
--with-qt-dir=%p --with-qt-includes=%p/include/qt
--with-extra-libs=%p/lib --with-extra-includes=%
p/include --enable-mt --with-pic --enable-rpath --enable-shared=yes

--disable-final --with-pythondi
r=%p --with-qtdoc-dir=%p/share/doc/qt3/html
--with-kdelibsdoxy-dir=%p/share/doc/kde/en/kdelibs-apidocs

--enable-cvs --enable-ada --enable-haskell --d
isable-java --enable-pascal --enable-cxx --enable-dynamic --enable-rpc
--enable-tcl --with-tcl --enable-vba --disable-dependency-tracking

is there anybody out there who is practice with this? is there any howto?
i see --enable pascal , but i dont need pascal, and i se --disable
java (but i need java! how is it possible that default fink kdevelop
binary doesnt support java?!?!)

thank a lot!!

kdevelop

Hi!
I'd like to install the fantastic kdevelop.
I remember that under gentoo-linux i had the chance to choose what to
compile and what not to compile. I mean that kdevelop supports a lot
of programmin languages but since i dont need all of them i'd like not
to compile the support for C++ (for example) or for Java.
Do you know if this is possible with fink? Is there any compiling
options that allows me to select to compile or not some particular
features?

thanks in advance
mathias

nope, kdevelop in fink builds everything (well, not java since it's 
broken ATM on darwin, but...)

glib2: "Could not determine values for POLL* constants"

Trying to upgrade to glib-2.6.6 I get this fatal error during the 
configuration stage. There is a comment in the .info file about Tiger 
having a problem with the poll() command and some kind of workaround 
being implemented, so I'm guess this is related. Digging around in the 
source all of the POLL* constants are defined in headers which ought to 
be included, so it could be a problem with improper header directives.
  I'm running fink 0.8.0 on 10.4.2. I have run fink selfupdate (I'm 
using CVS), and tried both stable and unstable dists of glib2 with the 
same problem. Based on a previous post about glib2, I ran 
/sw/fink/postinstall.sh again, and then did another selfupdate, but no 
dice. Does anyone have any ideas?

the kdevelop java support uses exceptions in such a way that exposes 
some bugs/inconsistencies/errors in apple's gcc.

As-is, it's unbuildable, and I haven't figured out a way to get it to 
work yet.
