The change was made 11/04/11. See http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/changeset/8935/trunk/BOOK/general/genlib/glib2.xml The idea of adding pkg-config 0.25 to LFS is a good suggestion. What do others think? We might want to add it to Chapter 6 so we don't have to do a workaround for glib in BLFS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
