As I understand it, fink is very similar to the Debian packaging system. Perhaps the Debian sources that i have made and will continue to support will help speed up the process. Carlo On Wed, 23 Jul 2003, Paul Fons wrote:
I am also thinking of making an OS X binary installer (for those who don't want to deal with fink etc.). The installer would be for installation on a generic Mac OS 10.2.x system and would include ifeffit, athena, artemis, tkatoms, and the necessary libraries. All of this would be in effect, just copying over the necessary binaries with only a minimal check for safety. The other option is fink which would allow the use of potentially binary installations and/or compilation. The compilation step would require people to install the (free) C compiler from Apple. Any one else interested in using or helping with such a project?
