Re: [geomview-users] Building geomview on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

I recommend Ubuntu on VirtualBox.

Just because Fink and Macports are more mature than homebrew doesn't make them any good...

I haven't modified any of the geomview package. My question concerning

As far s Fink is concerned, would I be better off using Fink to build 
and install geomview?
