Re: fink update

Oops forgot about the fact that 10.15 does that..

Well, change it to sudo mv /opt/sw /opt/sw2

You might need to sudo mkdir /sw again to regain the symlink

All I was suggesting to do is move the semi working version aside in its own directory

And then reinstall fink into /sw

Now that the command line tools issue is sorted

The .bootstrap error is occurring because /sw isn’t empty..the mv is to make sure it is empty

With it empty, it should hopefully work

Thanks for help.

The command line tools were installed fine.

Why fink self update does not see it?

And Sudo mv /sw /sw2 is not simple … Apple does not allow to do anything in /

I actually have link /sw -> /opt/sw - not simple way to make it...

My first thought wouldn’t have been to delete the command line tools

I would have tried installing them from the developer.dmg file

But, I guess it worked.

How about doing this...

Sudo mv /sw /sw2 ... to move your old fink aside intact

Then reinstall fink again to /sw which won’t exist

If it works, you can copy stuff from /sw2

Thanks a lot.

I did "sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools" and then

re-run "xcode-select —install” - it was successfully installed.

But then I have

[~] fink selfupdate

Before changing your selfupdate method to 'rsync', you must install

the Xcode Command Line Tools package from

http://developer.apple.com (after free registration),

or via the Downloads tab of the Xcode Preferences.

Failed: Selfupdate method 'rsync' cannot be used

AGAIN

If I try

[~/fink-0.45.1] ./bootstrap

Fink must be installed and run with superuser (root) privileges. Fink can automatically try to become root when it's run from a user account. Since you're currently

This system was not released at the time this Fink release was made. Prerelease versions of Mac OS X might work with Fink, but there are no guarantees.

Verifying that installed Xcode Command Line Tools version is supported...

11.0.0.0.1.1567737322 is OK

Verifying that installed Xcode app version is supported...

Found Xcode version: 11.5 is OK.

It looks like you already have Fink installed in /sw, trying /sw2 instead.

WARNING: This is a non-standard location.

Please choose the path where Fink should be installed. Note that you will normally be able to use a binary distribution only if you choose '/sw'. [/sw2]

Command Line Tools now OK. How to reinstall fink to /sw? I tried to remove /sw/fink to another place, but system still knows it is in /sw

Thanks for help

Dear Alex

Glad to communicate with you again. I have a problem with update fink for my macOS 10.15.4

I need your help.

I have installed fink for the previous version and all /sw staff is moved to opt/sw and I have link /sw -> opt/sw. I have all soft in /sw running correctly (like cern library or gv)

When I try to run fink selfupdate I have

ERROR: I couldn't find the correct receipt for the Command Line Tools

You can install them by running the command

xcode-select --install

in a terminal window and then selecting Install in the dialog window that

pops up, or downloading them from developer.apple.com.

After they are installed, try the bootstrap operation again.

But again -

[~] xcode-select --install

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

Apple's updates continously break the Command Line Tools, so you need to

reinstall them.

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#lost-command-line-tools

Download and install from developer.apple.com or remove the remaining

local bits (with "sudo rm /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools") and then

re-run "xcode-select --install"
