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. For best results, 10.6 users are
encouraged to avoid upgrading XCode beyond version 3.2.6. On the other
hand, 10.7 users must update XCode to version 4.1 or later (via the 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 /Develper/Library/uninstall-devtools . You can determine
your current version of XCode by running xcodebuild -version .
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 updates continue to be made available on the XQuartz Update Page.
(We are not currently supporting Xquartz on 10.6 or 10.7.)
