Hi -
Gotta general question or three here...
Recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.6, and in the process decided to
nuke my fink installation and start afresh (had fink 0.8x, now have
0.9), and grabbed the openmotif and xemacs from there. I've also
installed the latest XQuartz. So far so good...
Just tried to build an X application that I'd successfully built
under Tiger, the earlier fink, etc.
I'm missing libXt.a, libICE.a, and libSM.a. At this point, I can't
tell where, in my previous setup, these came from (at least not
without digging through a Retrospect archive).
It doesn't appear that fink provides these, if it ever did, and the
XCode X11 dev package doesn't appear to install them either.
But, I see on
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/X11libs-17.3/
that all sorts of X11 libs are available as source, including of
course the ones I want. Not having ever downloaded/used any of the
darwinsource stuff, I don't know what the basic "protocol" is.
Looking at the Makefile in the above-named sources, it appears that
one could simply setenv DSTROOT and make them get installed in an
arbitrary location...hmm...
So (finally), here are the questions:
1. Is there a "standard default" location for installing stuff from
darwinsource? Or just a place that folks consider to be a
convention...Looks like a lot of useful stuff here, and I'd rather
start off putting them in some sort of "reasonable" place :-)
2. Will fink X11 stuff (installs under /sw) conflict with darwinsource?
3. Is there a README/INSTALL file for installing darwinsource stuff
that I'm just missing or not aware of? Or a ./configure script?
Sorry to sound like a n00b - been programming X since the
1980's...just not a lot of X11 on the Mac lately... :-) Answers can
assume I have a high level of X/Unix/programming/shell expertise..
Thanks!
