Status
Fink currently supports OS X 10.7 (Lion), 10.6 (SnowLeopard), and 10.5
(Leopard), and continues to run on older versions of OS X, although
official updates are no longer available for the older versions.
Installation instructions can be found on our source
release page.
XCode must be installed before Fink.
10.7 Support:
10.7 users must install or update XCode to version 4.1 or later
(via a free download from the AppStore). Note that if you installed an
earlier version of XCode prior to updating, you need to uninstall
the old version first, by running
/Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools .
You can determine your current version of XCode by running
xcodebuild -version .
10.6 Support: For best results, 10.6 users are
encouraged to upgrade XCode to version 3.2.6, or to version 4.2.1 if you
paid for a 4.x Developer preview. Version 4.0.2 is known to have some
bugs in its linker that prevent certain packages from building. Follow
the instructions in the 10.7 section above regarding how to check your
version and uninstall it, if needed.
10.5 Support:
Users are encouraged to update to OS 10.5.2 or later, via Software Update,
in order to get bugfixes and enhancements for X11. Further unofficial updates
continue to be made available on the
XQuartz Update Page.
We are not currently supporting Xquartz on 10.6 or 10.7.
Users should also install Xcode 3.1 or later, preferably 3.1.4, to fix some
known problems in building packages.
