Re: [Fink-devel] Fink update all failed compiling gcc 4.4.4

[Jack H. <ho...@br...>]

  The issue of build failures from development libraries
in /usr/local seems to come up endlessly. I have wondered
if there is some way that a 'strict' build mode could be
introduced into fink. The idea would be for packages known
to commonly suffer from this issue, the info file could
invoke a strict mode during the fink build process where
fink would first look for headers or static libraries in
/usr/local. If found, the build would abort with a clear
message that /usr/local needs to be moved aside. Unless
the package maintainer included the strict build keyword
in the info file, this check would not normally occur.
