5/15 OS X users -- for installing unix utilities, do you use fink
or just grab the source and do the make install dance (and why)?
\_ I don't use fink, it seems too linux-ish for my tastes.
I prefer the ./configure make install method, but I've
got some wrapper Makefile a la /usr/ports that take care
of all the nitty gritty details. My only problem is with
lack of good packing tools for OS X.
\_ I don't use ports, since ports has historically been broken.
\_ bullshit, ports is the *best* method of trying to make a
bunch of 3rd party software work with your system.
\_ ilyas would disagree.
\_ Hi paolo!
\_ I don't use anything that jkh hasn't written himself personally. |
