I went to the Proftpd website and it stated
that it was included with fink, which I downloaded. The ProFTPD package
is listed on the fink website as included but I can not find the
package.
Fink is a system for installing packages that have been ported for
the project. These packages aren't installed, it's what Fink does,
install those packages. So you're misreading this, nothing is
"included" with fink other than fink itself.
Remember though that in most cases you're going to end up with either
a binary or a default build and this may not be what you want. For
instance to include MySQL or RADIUS support in ProFTPd, it must be
built in during compilation and linking.
I have downloaded the source code and now need some help with
resources to figure out what I am doing being the UNIX neophyte that I
am. I am assuming that I need to compile the package using Xcode since
the package is not included in fink.
Typically you would not use XCode. You will need the Developer Tools
installed though. The process to follow is included in the documents
that have such catchy titles as README and README1ST
What are some good resources to
learn about using Xcode and learning to compile?
This is a different and unrelated question.
