Fink installed app working in 10.2

[sao]

Well, I installed 10.2 by 'archive and install'.

After I solved problems with PATH, and made a 'fink rebuild xfree86-rootless' (4.2.0-12) then XFree86 started with no problems through the XDarwin.app.

Remember that adding "unstable/main" to your list of trees in /sw/etc/fink.conf will give you access to the latest versions of packages, many of which include important fixes for 10.2.

I tested a bit to see what works and what doesn't and the apps that work well for me in 10.2 at the moment are:

The following crashed:

Will keep testing, and report back.

Thank you. I have been relunctant to load xfree86, but now I'll go ahead. Also, to add to your list of what works.

wget-ssl
ncftp
nano
anacron
curl-ssl

and all required files for these to work.

Cheers!

Picked out from the fink lists on 10.2:

1-/sw/bin/python on 10.2 ?
From CVS source. You must rebuild readline first, though:

sudo 'fink rebuild readline'

2-Problems with /sw/bin/bash and readline?
Rebuild bash from CVS source against a rebuild readline.

3-Trying to compile KDE in 10.2 ?
Benjamin Reed is right now in the process of getting everything cleaned up for 10.2 with KDE. The KDE 3.0.2 packages in unstable will *not* build properly on Jaguar yet.

4-aspell ?
Does not yet compile on gcc3/jaguar due to C++ problems.

7- pspell ?
It does compile, it's added to the 10.2 tree (with a version bump)

8-Bitchx ?
Chris Zubrzycki checked in updated descriptions into cvs not long ago.

9-Problems compiling emacs21 on 10.2 ?
Update to the latest emacs. selfupdate-cvs. The jaguar-fixed version has been checked in already.


In general, any package that was build for dynamic linking against the system curses library has to be rebuilt, because Apple moved that library. An earlier posting from fink developers indicated that a fink upgrade that does all this will appear at some point soon.

Well, Siag is working now.

I had to run 'fink reinstall xaw3d', and then it worked.

So then, also working:

Siag--------------3.5.2-1

lynx-------------2.8.4-1
dillo---------------0.6.6-1
enlightenment------0.16.5-7

I just did a fresh install of xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless (version 4.2.0-12) from CVS and xterm seems to be working just fine now.

[sao]

Craig,

Yes, I also did a 'fink rebuild xfree86-base' version 4.2.0-12 and it solved the problem with xterm.


Cheers..

For all of you who can't wait for the new Fink release which will be coming soon, you can use CVS to get the packages descriptions that have been fixed for 10.2.

Use cvs to download the .info and corresponding .patch file that you need and cp them to:

/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/whicheversectiontheybelong

In some cases you will also need to copy the .info files for some dependencies of the package you need.

Then run:

'fink update packagename'

You can have a look at what is available here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/v...main/finkinfo/

By the way, KDE files for 10.2 are already available.


Cheers...

PS: Remember to configure Fink to use unstable in /sw/etc/fink.conf by adding unstable/main to the Trees line.

Yep, yep, and yep. aterm works fine so far too, apparently. Just installed the latest (August) Dev Tools, and am anxiously awaiting more developments from those crazy, wonderful people at the fink project,

[sao]

When some installed app that was working before crashes in 10.2, the best to do is:

'fink selfupdate-cvs'

'fink update-all'

'fink rebuild packagename'

In this way I got several packages back, including vim (Yeah!) bitchx and gv.


Cheers...

[sao]

The procedure for getting packages from CVS that have been fixed for 10.2 is as follows:

Developer Tools Installed.

Enable the unstable tree if you haven't already.(by adding unstable/main unstable/crypto to the Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conf)

1- create a directory called "finkcvs"

2- cd to that directory

3- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink login

4- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink co dists

5- cd dists/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/'section name'

6- cp packagenameversion* /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/'section name'

7- If the package has dependencies you'll also need to copy those .info and .patch files as well.

8- fink update 'packagename'

I got several packages to build this way without any problem. (one of them was screen)


Cheers...

I just upgraded to mozilla-----1.1.0-1 and works very well.

Cheers...

[rusto]

Just tried your instructions two posts up, there Sao...when I enter:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink login

it asks for a password, as anonymous I assume I just hit return but come right back to the prompt..what am I doing wrong?

[sao]

rusto,

You probably already have cvs. Enter directly point 4.


Cheers...

[rusto]

at step 4 I get:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot make directory dists: No such file or directory

[sao]

rusto,

create a directory 'finkcvs'

cd to that directory

Enter in terminal: 'cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink co dists'


Cheers...

[rusto]

Hehe, how about

sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink co dists

:)

[sao]

rusto,

Yes, it depends. I made the directory 'finkcvs' on my desktop. It doesn't ask me for 'sudo' to use the command.

Glad it worked.


Cheers...

[rusto]

Thanks, Sao. Just a reminder to other folks following 'recipies' they might find here: read all the instructions all the way through BEFORE attempting them. Being sure you understand them would be a good thing too.



Had I done so, I would have realized that the finkcvs directory Sao instructed to create was only needed temporarily and did not need to be put (as I did) in the /sw directory which is why I needed to use sudo.

[sao]

rusto,

Thanks for making it clear.

I just updated to vim-6.1-4. It's working very well.


Cheers...
