Also, MacPorts is written primarily in tcl, Fink is Perl, and homebrew is ruby, so you may be more comfortable with one over the other. They also have slightly different hierarchies, and port descriptions may or may not have different local optimizations.<br /><br />Dependencies depend entirely on how the software is built. Right now, 17 uses the Xcode gcc, which means the libraries are already on the system. 19+ will include the MacPorts-built gcc libraries, hidden within TenFourFox, which AuroraFox is doing already.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-68362848031279542742013-01-10T08:49:00.002-08:002013-01-10T08:49:00.002-08:00Are there any technical reasons for one to prefer ...Are there any technical reasons for one to prefer macports to fink to homebrew?<br /><br />I see that you use macports and are able to make binaries that run independently of things in macports. Is that an intrinsic feature of macports or is it general?<br />Rogério Theodoro de Britohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178613673298541423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-34949840141737501402013-01-07T06:23:07.120-08:002013-01-07T06:23:07.120-08:00Install 2.0.3, and then selfupdate.

The last time I used Homebrew on Tiger was when Tiger support and PPC support (both 10.4/5) were in separate trees.<br /><br />I didn't see a way to install MP on Tiger listed on their downloads page. (Source?) Fink does have a nice binary for 10.4. I guess my question was more towards whether or not they still maintain packages for 10.4.theos911https://www.blogger.com/profile/09306760851277539542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-87370384556514046822013-01-06T21:39:08.401-08:002013-01-06T21:39:08.401-08:00How was Tigerbrew?

I haven't tried it yet myself (when I get a round tuit).<br /><br />MacPorts and Fink are just fine on PPC 10.4. We use MacPorts heavily for prerequisites, but if you don't like MP David Fang continues to maintain our Fink port. Both are good and solid on Tiger PowerPC.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-3902553175920748872013-01-06T17:54:19.468-08:002013-01-06T17:54:19.468-08:00The last time I tried Homebrew was on Panther and ...The last time I tried Homebrew was on Panther and Tiger.
