Re: Re: Compiling on OSX LION

Hi,

I am under the same impression as Chris. MacPorts seem to be more up to date, and better maintained. At the same time, I've neither spent much time with Fink, so I cannot say for sure which is better. I've also got several mac friends recommending MacPorts over Fink, which is partly why I have so little experience with Fink. One thing I definitely know, chose one and ONLY one of them. Using both can easily make a mess on your system.

Another system one might consider (I haven't) is Homebrew: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew Unsure if you find root there just yet.

Cheers,
Yngve
