Re: [Visualpython-users] Help with Boost on Mac OS

[Steve S. <st...@sp...>]

I'm sure that would work... however, I've had serious trouble with  
fink in the past where I didn't *realize* it was being used to  
resolve various dependencies and then someone without fink could not  
run an app I had built due to shared libraries being linked in  
without my knowledge! I guess I know just enough to be  
dangerous.. ;-). Anyway.. I guess I'd say we might use fink to sort  
out how to build something (e.g., boost) but it would be best, in the  
interest of building a truly stand-alone library, to avoid building  
with fink enabled (i.e., after running /sw/bin/init.sh). Of course..  
all IMVHO. ;-)
