Yes, but fink derives all of its packages from online patch
repositories. I think it would be more worth your time just to write
your own installer than to hack Fink to do it. I mean, it's really
only a matter of running a limited number of NSTasks, very few if you
use an intelligent makefile system for your source.

Does anyone know of an existing solution by which to install software

Installer application)? I have some scientific libraries I want to
wrap in an end-user package, but for performance reasons it's really
quite important that the package be compiled on the end user's
machine, to allow for present and future optimizations. I'm not
aware of any such existing systems - have I missed something?
Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) supports installing a package from
source, but it is open-sourced and mostly command line based. Please
be more specific as to your needs, and the licensing of the software
you want to install. You could also bring it up on the Fink Devel
mailing list ( email@hidden ), you can probably
get a better answer there.
