Fink: how to change the configure options?

Ellen · 05-14-2003, 04:56 PM

I have successfully installed Pure-ftpd with Fink. My problem is that Fink doesn't compile it with the --with-virtualchroot option that I need.

How can I get it to compile with this option?

Thanks,

Ellen

Yes, I know I can do that. But since I decided to use Fink, and this was the first program I installed with it, I would prefer to go all the way.

If it's impossible or too complicated to get Fink to compile with specific options I will certainly "do it myself". But I will be disappointed.

Oh, yes, by the way, gatorparrots, it was your post that decided me to use Pure-ftpd and it does seem to be exactly what I need. So thanks!

Ellen,

Haven't tried myself with Fink Pure-ftpd package, but you could try to add the line you need "-with-virtualchroot" to the package .info file and then run:

'fink rebuild packagename'

Maybe it works...

Yes it does. Very simple. Thanks. And it does exactly what I need.

Now on to the next install : Postfix. I'll be back :-)
