Mac OS X:Build from source:fink:local

These instructions are for installing GRAMPS 3.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) using the "local/main" fink tree rather than "stable" or "unstable".

Do not use these instructions. Please install the latest version of Gramps using the unstable tree of fink.

Fink brings the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and macOS. Packages are downloaded and built automatically and installed into a tree managed by dpkg, all with full dependency tracking.
