Re: 10.12

Thanks Alexander,

I was meaning to weigh in on Fink 10.12. I was able to make minor changes to the bootstrap routines and successfully built a distribution under Sierra Public Beta #2.

One key point was to NOT ask to download binary distributions (since 10.12 doesn't exist on the mirrors yet).

Unfortunately, when I try to build new packages, I'm encountering errors with autoconf (aclocal.m4) and objtool. Haven't figured that out yet.

But here are the diffs to make bootstrap work on 10.12:

diff postinstall.pl.in fink-0.39.3/postinstall.pl.in

Hey, folks.

Does anybody happen to know if there are any huge changes for building on 10.12 vs. older OS X? Specifically, I’m most concerned with changes that might entail creating a new distribution tree, like a new default C++ ABI or anything else that would preclude upgrading a Fink tree in place from 10.9 and later. If not, then maybe it’s time to bust out an appropriate git branch.
