Yes, they have.


Last time I checked, we needed sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.12 (as you quoted),

and again, last time I checked, the latest sigc++ in fink was 2.0.11.


I suspect that people sucessfully compiling Inkscape are using their

own sigc++ and installing it in /usr/local or some other prefix that

is searched before /sw. This does in fact, work for me. I will update

the page now, with this info, but we really need some guidance for

what advice to give to Mac devs who have been relying on fink.


No.

The problem is that sigc++ 2.0.12 is *only* a problem with gcc 4.0.x

The default for fink is gcc 3.3, which works *fine* with sigc++ 2.0.11


So the dependency on ">= 2.0.12" is only if gcc is also 4.0.x.



Anyone pulling things from fink and doing a straight build will be able to as long as they follow fink's default of using gcc 3.3.
