Perhaps a better fix would be to have fink conditionally use /usr/bin/make rather than make for the CompileScript's default_script when executed on 10.11. This would at least automatically solve the issue for all packages using %{default_script}. > > Also, $X11_BASE_DIR doesn’t seem to get set. >> >> >> Bill Scott >> >> >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> _______________________________________________ >> Fink-devel mailing list >> [email protected] >> List archive: >> http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel >> Subscription management: >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel >> > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [email protected] List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
