Messing around with Anjuta and Fink

I had some trouble getting Eclipse working on my FreeBSD box so I started to mess around a bit with Anjuta yesterday – surprisingly nice-looking C/C++ (GNOME-based) IDE.

So then I thought I’d install Anjuta on my PowerBook so that I could play with it offline. I figured it would be a simple Fink install but alas it was not. It’s only on the unstable branch of Fink and it seems that my Fink was really old and I couldn’t get it to self-update because it insisted that I need gcc-4.0 and I have gcc-4.0.1 (presumably from my recent install of Xcode 2.2?) So I moved /sw out of the way and reinstalled Fink and set it to look for unstable packages and then had it CVS update from the sources and build. It’s been building now for around 12 hours with no end in site… 🙂
