Ah, love the self-referential link to its website on that page. Looks good, if it will be maintained. But then, for *years* nothing happened in pkgconfig. At the moment this one's version is current (for those packages which look for pkgconfig > x.xx). > And: > > https://github.com/nenolod/pkgconf > Under development, but no releases and only a zip file for casual browsers to look at. But that is called nenolod-pkgconf-pkgconf-0.8-2-g495f586.zip so I imagine it is 0.8.2 and I suspect that *could* cause funnies in packages that wish to check the version (ISTR 0.9.0 and 0.16 were the big changes for pkg-config, and I'm fairly sure some things require at least one or the other of those versions. No, he's thought of that, grep VERSION found ./pkg.h:#define PKG_PKGCONFIG_VERSION_EQUIV "0.26" I'd much prefer to deal with a released version and a tarball, so on that basis pkgconfiglite sounds as if it will be a better bet. ĸen getting resigned to reworking the glib2 dependencies in BLFS :( -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
