Fink is a distribution of Unix Open Source software for Mac OS X and Darwin. It brings a wide range of free command-line and graphical software developed for Linux and similar operating systems to your Mac. Quick Start Download the installer disk image: Fink 0.9.0 Binary Installer Double-click ?Fink-0.9.0-XYZ-Installer.dmg? to mount the disk image, then double-click the ?Fink 0.9.0 XYZ Installer.pkg? package inside. Follow the instructions on screen. At the end of the installation, the pathsetup utility will be launched. You will be asked for permission before your shell's configuration files are edited. When the utility has finished, you are set to go! Using the fink tool The fink tool uses several suffix commands to work on packages from the source distribution. Some of them need at least one package name, but can handle several package names at once. You can specify just the package name (e.g. gimp), or a fully qualified name with a version number (e.g. gimp-1.2.1) or with both version and revision numbers (e.g. gimp-1.2.1-3). Fink will automatically choose the latest available version and revision when they are not specified. Others have different options. If you type : fink --help you get the list of options. Install The install command is used to install packages. It downloads, configure, builds and installs the packages you name. It will also install required dependencies automatically, but will ask you for confirmation before it does so. Example: fink install nedit Reading package info... Information about 131 packages read. The following additional package will be installed: lesstif Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Remove The remove command removes packages from the system by calling : 'dpkg --remove' The current default implementation has a flaw: it doesn't check dependencies itself but rather completely leaves that to the dpkg tool (usually this poses no problem, though). The remove command only removes the actual package files, (excluding configuration files), but leaves the .deb compressed package file intact. This means that you can re-install the package later without going through the compile process again. If you need the disk space, you can remove the .deb from the /sw/fink/dists tree. These flags can be used with the fink remove command 3/8 -h,--help - Show the options which are available. -r,--recursive - Also remove packages that depend on the package(s) to be removed (i.e. overcome the above-mentioned flaw). Purge The purge command purges packages from the system. This is the same as the remove command except that it removes configuration files as well. This command takes the: -h,--help -r,--recursive options. Update-all This command updates all installed packages to the latest version. It does not need a package list, so you just type: fink update-all List This command produces a list of available packages, listing installation status, the latest version and a short description. If you call it without parameters, it will list all available packages. You can also pass a name or a shell pattern, and fink will list all packages that match. The first column displays the installation state with the following meanings: not installed i latest version is installed (i) installed, but a newer version is available p a virtual package provided by a package that is installed The version column always lists the latest (highest) version known for the package, regardless of what version (if any) you have installed. To see all versions of a package available on your system, use the dumpinfo command. There are also some flags for the fink list command: -h,--help Show the options which are available. -t,--tab Output the list in a tab delimited format, useful for running the output through a script. -i,--installed Show only those packages which are currently installed. -o,--outdated Show only those packages which are out of date. -u,--uptodate Show only packages which are up to date. -n,--notinstalled Show packages which are not currently installed. -s expr,--section=expr Show only packages in the sections matching the regular 4/8 expression expr. -m expr,--maintainer=expr Show only packages with the maintainer matching the regular expression expr. -w=xyz,--width=xyz Sets the width of the display you would like the output formatted for. xyz is either a numeric value or auto. auto will set the width based on the terminal width. The default is auto. Some usage examples: fink list - list all packages fink list bash - check if bash is available and what version. fink list --tab --outdated | cut -f 2 - just list the names of the out of date packages. fink list --section=kde - list the packages in the kde section fink list --maintainer=fink-devel - list the packages with no maintainer fink --trees=unstable list --maintainer=fink-devel - list the packages with no maintainer, but only in the unstable tree. fink list "gnome*" - list all packages that start with 'gnome' The quotes in the last example are necessary to stop the shell from interpreting the pattern itself.

Kernel, filesystem and base unix utilities as well as it's own package managers. It's not a secret that Mac OS X has a bSD kernel Darwin. The raw Mac OS X won't provide you with all power of Unix but this could be easily fixed: install package manager. There are 3 package manager: MacPorts, Fink and Homebrew.

  • About Basictex-2021
    About BasicTeX-2021 Richard Koch January 2, 2021 1 Introduction Most TeX distributions for Mac OS X are based on TeX Live, the reference edition of TeX produced by TeX User Groups across the world. Among these is MacTeX, which installs the full TeX Live as well as front ends, Ghostscript, and other utilities | everything needed to use TeX on the Mac. To obtain it, go to http://tug.org/mactex. 2 Basic TeX BasicTeX (92 MB) is an installation package for Mac OS X based on TeX Live 2021. Unlike MacTeX, this package is deliberately small. Yet it contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, MetaPost, and XeTeX. It would be dangerous to construct a new distribution by going directly to CTAN or the Web and collecting useful style files, fonts and so forth. Such a distribution would run into support issues as the creators move on to other projects. Luckily, the TeX Live install script has its own notion of \installation packages" and collections of such packages to make \installation schemes." BasicTeX is constructed by running the TeX Live install script and choosing the \small" scheme. Thus it is a subset of the full TeX Live with exactly the TeX Live directory structure and configuration scripts. Moreover, BasicTeX contains tlmgr, the TeX Live Manager software introduced in TeX Live 2008, which can install additional packages over the network. So it will be easy for users to add missing packages if needed. Since it is important that the install package come directly from the standard TeX Live distribution, I'm going to explain exactly how I installed TeX to produce the install package.

  • Building Gplates from Source on Mac OS X Without Package Managers
    Building GPlates from source on Mac OS X without package managers Christian Heine∗ Revision: 1067 Date: 2009-02-26 February 26, 2009 Abstract This article describes how to build the open-source plate tectonic software GPlates on Mac OS X without the need of package managers like MacPorts or Fink. The pro- cedure uses available installer packages for OS X from the net and only requires to compile one single library from source. I have been able to install GPlates smoothly on a Mac Pro and oldish 12” PowerBook using the recipe below. 1 For the impatient This is for the impatient ones which don’t need lengthy explanations: • Install XCode from the Mac Dev Center • Install the GDAL framework and dependancies from William Kyngesbury’s site • Install CMake from the CMake project • Install the Qt framework from Trolltech • Download and compile the ICU libaries from the ICU Project • Download and unarchive the Boost libaries • Download and unarchive the GPlates source • Open CMake.app and point it to the directory where you unarchived the GPlates source code. • Configure GPlates build in CMake.app • Compile GPlates in Terminal.app by typing make in the GPlates source direc- tory. ∗Email: [email protected] 1 Heine BuildingGPlatesOnOSX 20090226.tex 1067 2009-02-26 21:24:04Z christian 2 Prerequisites This build requires that you have basic familiarity with the command line and the Terminal on Mac OS X using Terminal.app. In order to be able to compile some of the components, it is required to have a c++ compiler installed on your machine.
