Hallo, james tittle hat gesagt: // james tittle wrote:
...it wouldn't be hard to add a pd package to fink or darwinports,
but I don't think there's that much demand since there's already
several app bundles available...plus, who's got the time to make
packages for the dependencies of all the externals?
But that's exactly the selling point of the fink approach: Someone else would do this!!
In a perfect world, Fink has packages for libquicktime, libtheora, ffmpeg, libfluidsynth etc. and what a Pd fink package would do, is build Pd and externals using the upstream libraries as available in fink.
The package management is intelligent enough to figure out the right version of a library to install, to make Pd, Gem, PDP etc. run correctly.
This is already working on most Linux systems like Debian, which was the model for fink. Guenther, who maintains the Pd package, is not maintaining the fluidsynth package, he's just using it to build the [fluid~] external.
