The Fink package system needs a tarball that can be downloaded with the curl utility, so you should put these two files into a directory, such as hellow-1.0. Then, create a tarball containing these files and that top-level directory, and put it somewhere where you can get it. In this example, the tarball is created and moved to the local Shared folder:
[localhost:~/src] bjepson% tar cvfz hellow-1.0.tar.gz hellow-1.0/ hellow-1.0/ hellow-1.0/hellow.1 hellow-1.0/hellow.c hellow-1.0/Makefile [localhost:~/src] bjepson% cp hellow-1.0.tar.gz /Users/Shared
The curl utility can download this file with the following URL: file:///Users/Shared/hellow-1.0.tar.gz. (We could also have put the file on a public web server or FTP server.)
