And you might need to install different<br> versions of software you already have, via these systems (where the version<br> bundled with OS X is old else just weird). Multiple versions of stuff can<br> generally live side-by-side -- you just have to be careful setting<br> environment variables such as $PATH. E.g. when building stuff that was<br> developed on say Linux you might have to configure your paths to binaries<br> and libraries etc such that the locations installed to by Macports/Fink get<br> searched first, before the OS X system directories.<br> <br> Alternatively, you could replace OS X with Linux, and everything becomes a<br> lot simpler.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> <br> Andrew<br> <div><br> > Gordon<br> ><br> ><br> > _______________________________________________<br> > members mailing list<br> > <a href="mailto:members@electronclub.org" target="_blank">members@electronclub.org</a><br> > <a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members</a><br> ><br> > Instructions for changing your mailing list settings:<br> > <a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html</a><br> <br> </div><font color="#888888">--<br> Andrew Back<br> <a href="mailto:a@smokebelch.org" target="_blank">a@smokebelch.org</a><br> </font><div><div></div><div><br> _______________________________________________<br> members mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:members@electronclub.org" target="_blank">members@electronclub.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members</a><br> <br> Instructions for changing your mailing list settings:<br> <a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br> </div> _______________________________________________<br>members mailing list<br><a href="mailto:members@electronclub.org">members@electronclub.org</a><br>http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members<br><br>Instructions for changing your mailing list settings:<br>http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
