Re: Fink bootstrap fails under macOS 10.15b9

Thanks Hanspeter,

I just became aware of this issue being tracked on Github yesterday. That is indeed exactly what I had experienced…

Fortunately, the latest macOS 10.15b10 (19A578c, released 2019-09-30) has fixed the getc/putc/ftell problem that prevented gzip (and dpkg) from building properly. The initial bootstrap command now succeeds!

On to the next issue: the gmp5 library still fails to build with the latest Xcode 11.1 GM (11A1027). This was also reported along with the bootstrap issue #197:

Cheers,
John

What appears to be happening is a low-level incompatibility in the standard C-library (/usr/lib/libc.dylib -> /usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib) with write-after-read (getc/putc) not working properly, and ftell providing the wrong byte location in the test stream file. This trips up ‘configure’, when gzip is trying to build, so that the entire bootstrap build fails.
