[Update: Don't read this! Instead, see the updated instructions I've posted.]
So time is running out, and I've started doing some real builds of packages on panther (rather than piecemeal hacking like most of us Fink panther users have been doing up until now.)
If you want to help build things, do the following:
-
set your compiler to 3.3 if it's not already, by running "sudo gcc_select 3.3" (parts of the bootstrap fail with gcc 3.1 on panther)
-
[Update:] download the Fink 0.16.1 beta from the fink project page (this used to be a link to a modified version of fink to do tricks with rsync, but those changes have been included in the 0.14.2/0.14.3 releases)
-
if you have a system already running Fink, run "perl inject.pl", otherwise, run "sh ./bootstrap.sh"; this will set you up to use the 10.3 tree as your base -- it's currently nearly empty, but we'll take care of that shortly
-
set up /sw/etc/fink.conf to see both the 10.3 and 10.2-gcc3.3 trees using the following Trees entry (all one line if your browser wraps it):
-
Trees: local/main unstable/main unstable/crypto 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main 10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/crypto stable/main stable/crypto 10.2-gcc3.3/stable/main 10.2-gcc3.3/stable/crypto local/bootstrap
-
-
get the latest package descriptions:
-
source /sw/bin/init.sh
-
fink selfupdate-rsync
-
fink index
-
Now you should be ready to go! If you have any problems, please let me know here, rather than bothering the fink list with it. It's very likely that many things won't work yet, but that's what I need you for. 😉
Happy finking!
[Update:]
A note, please make sure that you have the developer tools installed, and that you are using "fink install <foo>" to install packages. There is no bindist for 10.3 yet, and you will run into issues mixing some 10.2 binaries and 10.3 binaries, so for now, apt-get no workie. Part of the eventual upgrade process will involve getting everyone updates from the not-yet-existing bindist to make sure things are consistent, but if we had that already, I wouldn't need you to help test. <grin>
[Update Again:]
New instructions for using the 10.3 tree are here. You no longer need to have both 10.3 and 10.2-gcc3.3 in there, things are getting populated in the 10.3 tree for "real" now.

How is this different than using the 0.14.1-beta on sourceforge?
Platy
The no longer waiting platypus 😉
the 0.14.1 beta doesn’t include the code to allow you to selfupdate multiple dists into one /sw/fink/dists tree.
If you want the Trees: line I specified to work, you need to either run my tarball, or check out latest fink CVS (which includes these changes).
Ok, so I’m playing with it and little things work (fileutils, tetex…). One question, shouldn’t there be a freetype virtual package? or aren’t the freetype that come with X11 enough?
Platy
The eager platypus
Do you mean freetype? or freetype2? There’s very little that even uses freetype anymore.
As for freetype2, if you’re using my panther instructions, you should have a freetype whose developer bits are empty, so anything that wants freetype2 actually gets the one from X11 already.
The freetype2 package in the 10.3 directory builds only the shlib, to satisfy packages that expect the fink freetype2 package in /sw/lib. There’s no development bits.
Same for dlcompat and libpoll, both are provided by other means now.
Progress report. Thinks like gaim and gkrellm2 compile nicely. There is a missing package: gtk-engines-2.2.0 so that you can change the themes to gtk applications. It might conflict with the engine for gtk1 though. This is true for the current-unstable tree as well.
My first failed app is nedit-5.3.6, with some prebind error. I can send that via email.
Platy
oddly enough, i’m also able to build gaim using the 0.70 info file without problems, except when i try to run it, the app runs, spits out a couple errors related to my gtk theme, but then gaim never actually displays on localhost:0. seems to be an issue related to panther though, as a similar problem didn’t surface with jaguar.
Must be something on your system, I built and ran gaim jsut fine (alhtough I didn’t do much other than get the opening login screen).
compiled and worked :
– fileutils 4.1-3
– glib 1.2.10-8
– gtk+ 1.2.10-15
– libpcap 0.6.2-6
– readline 4.3-15
– sdl 1.2.6-12
– vim and vim-nox 6.2-11
failed on nmap :
there are warnings during the configure about the netinet/if_ether.h present but impossible to compile (see below), the configure is run four times in a row and then the compilation fails on a conflict on the getopt() function beeing declared two times in nbase/getopt.h and /usr/include/unistd.h
I had no time inquiring deeper, any ideas ?

You probably need to selfupdate, I fixed the nmap bug yesterday. =)
Indeed, everything is perfectly working now. Thank you !

Here are the other problems what I’ve found playing over the past few days (these were found on the 9th and are included in the email and were with the special fink 0.14.0):
building emacs21-xaw3d:
./emacs -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows
Fatal error (10).
Then immediately build emacs21:
Works without issue. Note: xaw3d was already built and was seen and
built in, so the end result (as far as I can tell) is the same as emacs21-xaw3d except it works. Well, maybe not. In the below nedit patch file edit, I was unable to get emacs to write out the file even though I had invoked the editor with sudo. However it seems to work fine for files in my home directory. Interesting, the Apple provided emacs also does not work (complains that the buffer is read-only). I’m not an emacs person, so something else may be going on here.

I don’t have any clue how to fix this one up.
inject.pl broke for me, but I was able to move aside my /sw directory and install fresh just fine. I think I’d recommend this approach for the average user.
That is *definitely* a problem. In what way did it break? If we can’t have people upgrade, things will go seriously wrong.
For gnucash I need: date-manip-pm

Now… I’m not sure that fink knows about perl 5.8.1 being there. The virtual package perl581-core doesn’t get installed because there is no version info available. Other modules complain randomly and give me the option of installing perl 5.8.0 or perl 5.6.0.
Any ideas?
Platy
No 581 packages have been made yet.
If you have a reasonably new fink (0.14.3 beta) the perl581-core package should automatically be provided by system-perl (try running fink-virtual-pkgs to see if it’s there).
But we still need to make -pm581 alternatives to all the things with pm580 and such.
For now you’ll have to make it yourself, I think. Looks like there’s other problems though.
I plan on going through all the perl stuff but haven’t had the chance yet.
maybe off topic, but is dlcompat still needed in panther?
Nope. No dlcompat, no libpoll. (And we’re getting rid of freetype2 in favor of X11’s libfreetype).
Currently they still exist as dummy packages, but without development headers and such, you end up building against the system versions even if you have the fake 10.3 packages installed.
Thank you for doing this! I’ve been using Panther as my main system for a while now and I missed Fink.
I’m especially pleased by the prebinding support. I’ve been playing with packages that don’t build prebound and was wondering who I should report my patches to. I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to send them to the maintainers since they might not be running 10.3 or gcc3.3.
I’ve fixed ncurses and libjpeg, which in turn enable prebinding on many other packages since they’re widely used.
Thanks again.
Just e-mail the maintainer (‘fink info [package]’ to find out)
In the case of ncurses and libjpeg, if you’ve got patches e-mail me and I’ll make sure they get in the 10.2 tree.
Ran selfupdate this evening to pull in any changes that have happened over the past several days.

Something looks a little strange here.
This is just a dumb question:
Running Pan with fink 0.14.1 and X11 1.0 under panther, and I have nice anti-aliased fonts which is nice, but I can’t find a way to change the default application and menu font. I tried modifying ~/.gtkrc with no joy. gtk-demo has the same font, so it looks like it’s a gtk pref, but I have no idea where to change it. Any guidance?
No clue, I rarely use gtk apps. This is really a question for one of the fink lists, it’s got nothing to do with panther.
Just hit a wierd one when running fink selfupdate.
The problem appears to be in the new fink-prebinding-0.3:
The following package will be installed or updated:

I only noticed this with the Panther beta of Fink. I didn’t notice the issue with the 10.2-gcc3.3 version of Fink on Jaguar.
I’m not even sure where to start looking (yes, I’ve used fink for a long time, but have never delved into exactly how it works or what makes it work).
Ok. After the prebinding update failure, I went on to try g77 (it currently seems to fail on G5’s running Jaguar – g77-3.4-20031015). Interestingly, it seems to build just fine on G5’s running Panther (this is the fink 0.14.3 beta).
Also, I just reran selfupdate and it pulled down a new pre-binding .info file. pre-binding now works successfully.
So I tried this procedure (I started from scratch inorder to preserve my /sw directory just in case) and whenever I do a fink list I see only 63 packages and fink selfupdate-rsync reports a whole bunch of errors that look like this:
Warning: unstable/main exists in fink.conf, but is not on rsync server. Skipping.
Any ideas?
Tonight I ran selfupdate and notice a lot of updated packages. ncurses-5.3-20031018-1 was installed automatically. On perusing the newly enabled packages, I spied calc (which I actually use a lot).
So, I did an install on calc (calc-2.11.5.8-11). The build went fine without any obvious errors.
However, when I tried to run calc, I get the following:
[pcp254833pcs:~] merle% calc
dyld: calc version mismatch for library: /sw/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version of user: 6.0.0 greater than library’s version: 5.0.0)
Trace/BPT trap
Any ideas? (this is on Panther 7B74).
New Panther Fink Instructions
As of today, we’ve started populating the 10.3 tree properly, so here is an update to the previous instructions on my blog last week. set your compiler to 3.3…
I got the same ncurses error with freeciv. I downgraded to 5.3-2003101 and that seemed to fix the problem. This is on 7B85

Bless your soul for posting this! I’ve been trying to get fink installed on panther 7B85 for 2 weeks and its been painful!
/me bows humbly
As same as in 7C107.
The downgrade is the only solution?
The ncurses issue is long fixed, a “fink selfupdate” should fix it. Assuming you didn’t build stuff against the broken one (which was only in the tree for a day or two).
